DESCRIPTION

Flash Video Downloader is an application which allows you to easily batch download and save streaming Flash videos from just about any website with streaming Flash videos as long as the videos are set to autoplay (that is, they start playing when the page loads). Examples of sites are youtube.com, video.google.com, and dailymotion.com, but just about any website will work. Instead of sifting through the html code of the webpage to find the flash video, Flash Video Downloader actually checks where the video is coming from and download it, which will ensure that it will still work even if the page has changed.

Features:

  • Automatically checks for the newest version
  • Locates the video files (.flv) for you so you don't have to deal with complicated "Flash video downloading websites" or firefox extensions anymore
  • Will continue working even if a Flash video site changes its coding because it actually checks where the videos is instead of relying on sifting through html code
  • Automatically downloads the video file (.flv) for you so less clicking
  • Allows many videos to be downloaded in a batch process, leaving you free to go do something else while Flash Video Downloader takes care of your videos for you
  • Progress bars show you the total progress as well as the progress of each video
  • Has optional Growl Support to easily notify you of the current progress
  • Can shut down the computer and/or beep when its finished
  • It's Free!

MARIO MAC  I've tried many other flash video downloading programs, but this one is the best. It always works for me.

I just queue up a bunch of videos that I want to download,come back later, and its done.

The Growl support is a nice touch.

The only "bad" thing is that the name is very generic sounding (but it does make it easy to find).   (Version 2.0.4)

EL-CRAVITO  Version 2.0.3 was (almost) unable to download FLV files from Dailymotion, although it wrked very well with all others sites I've tried.

I've just installed and tested version 2.0.4 and it seems to be working perfectly with Dailymotion: 3 tries, 3 videos downloaded.  (Version 2.0.4)
