    And the $20 question is...

    Im trying to figure out how to save my purchased videos on sharkscope so I can download them onto my iPhone to watch later. They are accessed via an embedded flash player and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to find out where the file is coming from.

    I tried a program to record my screen to just basically brute force this thing into an avi but that had little to no success, it essentially made my computer so slow that the video became unbearably choppy.

    Help me solve my problem and ill ship $20 on paypal. Thanks.

    If it streams then finishes the download, I believe you can just save the page as even in a new window and you'll get a flv file, but I'll figure it out tomorrow sleep now.

    The new windows media player has a way to download every video you watch. It then saves it to a file on your puter for ya. any video on the net can be d/l'd into it.

    I don't know how the purchased videos are embedded, but I'm assuming they are like the sharkscope tutorial videos, which are what I tested various download methods on.

    I don't think the methods for downloading flv videos (like youtube videos) will work here since the videos are created with Camtasia Studio and played through a shockwave container. I was able to download the tutorial videos using the method explained on this webpage http://dharshin.co.cc/node/15 (I used the xml method near the end of the page). You don't actually have to use any download manager programs, you just need to find the URL of the swf video file and save that location.

    When you download it, you get a swf file of the video, but I still haven't found a good program to convert the swf video so you can play it on your iPhone.

    PM me if you have any questions about how to download the swf file.

    here u go

    Some cartoons or animations that are available for online viewing usually can be ripped so that you can play it offline. Theres a good chance that they are made in Shockwave Flash format using the Macromedia Flash program. Whether it is flash animation, flash tutorials, flash websites, or even flash advertisement, all can be saved to your hard using some methods if they are in the same format.

    For Firefox user

    1) Click on Tools - Page Info
    2). Then, click the Media Tab on the Page Info Windows
    3). The media tab will have complete list of Images, CSS Files and Shockwave Flash files that were downloaded by the Firefox browser while loading the page of the website.
    4). Scroll down the list and locate the .swf file.
    5). Click the Save As button. Choose some folder on your hard drive and save the file.

    For Internet Explorer user

    1) Firstly, click Tools - Internet Options
    2) In the General Tab, click the Settings button available in the Temporary Internet Files group.
    3) Click View Files to open your Temporary Internet Files folder.
    4) Click View - Details. Now click View - Arrange Icons By - Internet Address. Depending upon the webpage, there could one or more Flash files (Shockwave Flash Object) under the Internet Address.
    5) Once you find the right flash file, right-click and choose Copy. Then paste the .swf file in any other folder,such as My Document.

    Note: Those methods above only function if your internet browsers cache file has not been cleared yet. Make sure that you did not close the internet browser before you save the flash file.

    The alternative method that you can use is by using download manager such as Flashget and Internet Download Manager which both you can easily obtain in the internet. For Flashget, use the download all option and select the file that you want, while for Internet Download Manager, use the Grabber tool and run the wizard.

    Yes! Got it!

    Through a long google search I found a program called Orbit that is doing the trick.

    Thanks to everyone who helped!
