saving streaming videos

[jasonz]

I know this was already posted somewhere, but i cant find it and need help with the same problem.

Believe it or not, my parents do not have internet at their house. My Calculus prof puts streaming videos of practice test online and I want to have access to them because i am going home for thanksgiving and HAVE to study. I want to use the videos, but as i said i no internet there. Is there a way to save them to the HD.

What kind of format are the videos in? Are they played with a mini version of Windows Media Player? Or are they embedded flash videos? Or are they Realplayer videos? Right click on the videos and find out. If they're Windows media, it's likely you can right click and select properties, and get the location of the file. Then open up the wmv destination in WMP, and go file save as.

i think they are being played with flash. The videos are made with a program called camtasia studio.

if you are using firefox, there is an extension called videodownloader that would work i think.

MediaPirate for FF will work on most Flash videos. Look it up on the FF website.

Then, you might need a player capable of playing flash files. Or, convert the flash file to a media format.
