    I usually find good videos and wanted to save them to my computer to watch later, I used to use IDM save .flv feature, DTA plug in for FF, Download Embedded + other FF plug-ins to download any video I liked (whether it is .flv or .swf) expect these videos created by camtasia, did you guys found any of them before? how do you save them?
    an example: http://www.ub.uni-potsdam.de/tutorial/wos/wos.html
    you will usually (99% of times) find the title as: Created by Camtasia Studio 5 (4, 3 or 2 based on the version) whenever Itry and save the video I found in the source I get a 185 kb .swf file with no data to play
    how to download these videos?
    any input is very appricated folks :)

    (sorry for my English)
    If you look at the source code of a page with Cam video, you can see that there's a call to a xml file.
    If you read that file, you can find the 'original' video and download it ( eg with wget or another tool )
    In your example the xlm file is "h--p://www.ub.uni-potsdam.de/tutorial/wos/29071525_config.xml" and the video is "29071525.swf", and watch it by may program ( eg: swiff )
    With this method, i've downloaded a lot of video :cool:.
    Bye, Tim
