I would like to download a Flash (FLV) video. I have found lots of websites and freeware for downloading Flash (FLV) videos from Youtube, but they don’t work for the website that I want to download from. This is the video that I want to download:
content3.porkolt.com/miniplayer/ … atas/12054
(It’s a video of a girl wearing see-through lingerie. Don’t watch it while at work!)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I’m running Mac Leapord, but I’m pretty sure it’s the same across all platforms (don’t quote me on that, I’m most definitely not a tech expert). Just download whatever video you’d like as a file (it should be “.flv”) and download a flash video playing program like wimpy. Open the program; drag said file into the program window and it should play like any Quiktime or WMP file.
I need a few more examples.
Download Real Player.
Every time you see a video RP will pop up and ask if you want to download it.
Easy.
Judging from the videos you want to DL, it won’t be the only thing popping up. :no-no:
I don’t have a problem playing FLV videos. My problem is how to download them.
Other than porn videos, I also watch a lot of news videos, which are also FLV. I will list some websites in my next posting.

I already have the latest version of Real Player installed on my computer, but nothing ever pops up when I watch a video.

Here’s some more examples of FLV videos:
Fox News: foxnews.com/video/index.html
BBC News: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/video_and_audio/default.stm
CNN News: edition.cnn.com/video
Yahoo News: news.yahoo.com/video
Youtube Videos: For example: youtube.com/swf/l.swf?swf=ht … econds=261
I found a lot of websites that claim to let you download Flash videos from other websites (especially from YouTube and MetaCafe), but none of them work. Here are the ones that I have tried so far:
Ah! My mistake; sorry about that. Are you using a screen capture program? If so, what sort of video capture software are you using? My friend uses Camtasia Studio and tells me it’s fantastic. The problem is that it’s not freeware, so you’ll either have to pony up whatever the cost is or find a torrent.
Real Player
sucks
If you use BitComet, you can get the plugin and be able to download FLVs. It works easily in Firefox. It might work in IE. For legal downloading of videos under creative commons licenses, such as the weekly hak5.com, I just right click on the page where the FLV resides, and it’s easy.
On the other hand, some people want to protect their IP, so they go through some lengths to make it more difficult to download the FLV. In this case, you are looking at a 'swf", not an html page. What you need to do is find the original html page for a video, then right click on the page and choose Download with Bitcomet.
That’s one way that you could do it. I was able to download the file you were looking at by putting that link into a text file that I typed called test.htm and adding some blank space
where I could right click to bring up BitComet. Another handy Firefox plugin is DownloadThemAll, which also permits downloading of audio, videos and pictures that can be see in a browser.
Her you go
http://www.orbitdownloader.com/
Try the Grab++, the plug-in function within.
I have test the function with the link you gave…
it works… 
This app work for many embeded flv video sites, enjoy it!!
I’ve always used Flash video downloader2 for downloading FLV files. Then you have to convert them to MPEG. So download, MPEG Streamclip.
Never a problem, unless the site has it blocked. In which case, you open the page source in Firefox, then read the code for where the link is originally
stored, then copy/paste that link and it will take you to the originally host site, and can download from there. Done this a zillion times. PM me if you have questions.
I use a Firefox add-on called “Video Downloadhelper” to download Flash videos. You can download it from this website:
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006
Then I use Koyoto Free Video Converter to convert the video from FLV to AVI or WMV. You can download that software here:

Download the Charles web proxy to find out what the url to the flash video is. Put the URL into your browser and download it.
Play it with the VLC player.
Charles might be a little daunting at first, but I really recommend the VLC player - it plays just about any file type you throw at it.
I’ll second merge’s recommendation for VLC. Great media player.

2nd that Video Down load helper. It works to a certain extent.
If you re-upload this, it’s gonna lose quality because the compression is already poor to begin with. I didn’t see if it had sound, but if it does, becareful because in the past when I’ve downloaded some vids the sound was out of sync.
