Saving flash videos to your computer

This is a training exercise on how to save flash video to your local computer. It's not about creating your own it is about the ability to save video that you have seen online. Lots of places have gone to displaying video through flash. The days of save video to local computer have changed drastically. This does not mean you can no longer save videos to your computer it just takes a few more steps.

On a side note check with the owner of the video to see if it is allowed to capture their video and save it to your computer. This is just a training guide, in some cases it may be copyrighted and not allowed. The fact that it is able to be captured may not make it legal.

The one thing to remember is any video that is downloaded to watch is on your computer . The video is being rendered from you computer which means the video is truly on your computer even if you physically can't see where its at, even when this video is streamed.

This post will discuss some common tools to help you download flash videos online.
