Can anyone suggest me a free software which can capture a streaming flash video?

Ridatat Hayeed asks:

There is this website where I have a paid subscription. The site is only letting me watch the video on browser, but not letting me download any video. Even Internet Download Manager failed in capturing the video.

The software should “watch” the streaming video and then download the video to my PC.

Browser: Firefox 10
System: Windows

Can’t be sure if it works, especially if it’s a subscriptions site, but
Freemake Video Downloader is often a very good option.

I’ve done a similar question some time ago. Please check it:

Also, you can try a shareware software like Audials Moviebox.
But, if you are watching a secure stream, than probably you can’t download the videos you want! To record them, remains only one way, to do a screen capturing! You have to record what shows on your computer screen! Try this, unless other option don’t work! For this try WM Recorder! (http://wmrecorder.com/)
Also, Steve from MUO, has written an article too. Check it in the link below:

If you are using Firefox, you might try using Sothink Web Video Downloader for Firefox v6.9 (It’s free!).

You can find it here: http://www.web-video-downloader.com/

There is no guaranty that it works but what have you got to lose!

There’s an extension for Firefox called Download Helper. Works pretty well for me. If anything else fails, try using screencasting software like Camtasia and record the video as you play it in your browser.

If capturing or saving videos (or both) is your goal, I may have a solution. Download a web browser called Maxthon. It is an amazing web browser that, when you hover over videos, it gives the option to save it. Then save it wherever you want and that is it! That should work. Sorry if it doesn’t.
