Need help with flash videos

**TheAtheist** · 06-26-2009, 09:15 AM

I've been tasked with creating a powerpoint, or part of, with hopefully a video incorporated. Below is the link to the video

http://wwww.viddler.com/explore/abol...very/videos/1/

(remove one of the w's in the adress, as i didn't want it to display inside my post as this doesn't then direct you to the site on which it is hosted)

I have read and reread stuff on the net on how to get this flash video as an actual video onto my pc so i can inport it into the powerpoint, but i can't seem to find the .flv file in my temporary files folder or other sub directory. All i get is the webpage on which the video is located. I have tried finding this file after running this video on both Opera and Internet Explorer 8, but with no sucsess on either.

Does this mean it is unlikely i can do what i am intending to do with this video? I know there is software out there to lift videos off youtube, but AFAIR this only works for a select few websites. Does anyone have a freeware program that work on any site running flash videos? I would be most appreciative if someone could point me towards one such program.

Regards
TA

so you just want to download the file to your PC wand you can't?
just download Orbit Downloader
from here: www.orbitdownloader.com
after you install it, copy the link of the video and paste it in Orbit (click on New Link at the top left) and paste the link (it could be there already) and start the download
