How can I download Flash?

[kevs]

thanks, and the swf? is what? you agree, that very cumbersome way to find out if the clip is flv or not? that's the only method on that though?

[terryj]

yes it is a cumbersome way, and the only way i know how to determine.

Replay media is for Windows it seems...

Parallels + Windows = more functionality for Mac
Wouldn't use a modern Mac without it.

I concur lords, I have intel though only on my mactop.
But replay catcher says they capture Flash, we already achieved that in Mac with the free Safari Stand.

Yes, iShowU is a screen capture software.
Gold standard, no, Snapz and iShowU are more like the silver standard,
this software, ScreenFlow , is what I consider the gold standard.

@FLV:
1. Perform a View Source on the link you sent when loaded in a page.
Search for .flv..no matches. search for .swf, 7 matches.

2. paste in the direct widget from the embed code:
http://bin.clearspring.com/lib/0.8.5/370/m2.swf
and launch the Activity in Safari, and watch what loads when you play the file in the widget.

what widget are you referring to?

[terryj]

the "embed the NBC player widget" from the embed link on the page the OP
posted first, pix.

[kevs]

I'm lost Terry,
what about the NBC widget, what is it?

[terryj]

???
the nbc widget is the NBC Video Player widget,
that you embed in a webpage ( your personal website
for instance) that then calls up the video you selected
and plays it on your website.

again,

The program I suggest captures a number of video formats. I got tired of always using this site or that plugin, none of which did it all. RMC does it all, which is nice. I don't download a lot of feeds, but when I do need one (usually for work or for research), it's aggravating to have to hunt for a way to save it. This saves time.

i was able to embed the video but i don't see any file in the activity window that has a file size ending in MB...

Last thing guys, I'm just starting in last 2 weeks to see a lot of Q symbols with a ? in the middle of the Q on web downloads -- says .avi
Damn thing doesn't play just sits there.
Seeing a lot of them now. What are these, why are people putting them up, and why aren't they playing? thanks.

Safari Stand trick (command right click, save) does not seem to be working.
It's still in the correct folder, input managers. How do I know it's active? thanks!

I use Safari browser (Leopard 10.5.3) with VideoBox (formerly known as FLVR) from tastyApps (http://www.tastyapps.com/)
