    Anyone know if it's possible to somehow capture the flash embedded video on a web page. I just want to have a local copy of the video rather than having to play the video each time I visit the site.

    Look at the source of the webpage.

    Example, goto http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com

    Check out the source
    <div align="center">
</div>
<br>
<div align="center">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="70%" height="70%">
	<param name="movie" value="/badger.swf">
	<param name="quality" value="high">
	<embed src="[b]/badger.swf[/b]" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="70%" height="70%"></embed>
</object>
<br>
    See the "/badger.swf"? Thats the flash object. The full address of the flash file would then be address/badger.swf, so in this case would be

    http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com/badger.swf

    Now, get the file using a program such as Flashget.

    Then, to open it, use Internet Explorer, or Firefox to open it.

    Oh, and its illegal to take stuff that you don't own.

    Cheers I'll give it a try and re: taking stuff, I'm not. I asked the owner of the site and video content if he could help me do it. He emailed me back and said "No problem with you doing that, but I ain't gonna make it easy for you!" or words to that effect.
