alright the video in that link of the Toyota BJ70 pulling the H2 out of the sand, how do I save it to my HD in a format I can play off my HD? Perferably a video file, not a flash file.

I've gone into my temporary internet files and extracted the file I believe to be the movie file, but it does not have an extension and any extension I give it (.swf, .mpg, .avi, .wmv etc etc) does not work.

Any ideas?

 

a quick scan of the source file didnt show anyhting. usually you can read the souce file and find the src address and then write a website wiht a link to the source file and right click and save as. however sicne this doesnt appear to be the standard video file, i dont know if it will work. i need to get some sleep now, but i will take a deeper look tomorrow.

 

First off, a head's up. That link you have has some stuff on it that's not acceptable based on the YT rules and regs.

This is an isolated link without all the stuff around it:

Past that... they've done an interesting thing... The flash wrapper is being used to stream the video, the video file itself doesn't seem to ever be cached on the PC.

I tried using Web Stream Recorder, and all it catches is the flash streamer, not the video.

Interesting.. I'll keep playing a bit. Cool video btw!

 

Thanks. Link changed.
