    Hey everyone I have a request. I love going to this site and downloading there videos for enjoyment away from home and now the download button has been disabled because of people uploading them on other sites. I was wondering if there is another way. I have Firefox's "download helper" but it does not detect any playback when I play the movies. Any help? Thanks

    Mike

    well, it does offer an "unlimited downloads with a prenium subscription". i can understand why they suspend the downloads, since they would lose advertissment $ if people rather go to another site than theirs

    u just have to wait until the site sets up their embedded flash and then see if u can use the opensource/avaialble tools on the net to capture/download it

    cheers ...

    they have security feature on their servers that make the link valid for only a couple of minutes. The next time you want to dl a vid just right click on the vid and go to properties then copy the location(should be in .wvx) into your address bar and click enter. It should five a few lines that say ref blah blach an d there should be a link that has a .wmv(copy the http all the way to the .wmv) at the end. Copy that link and put it in the address bar and click enter. Then go to file- save page as(it should save it as .wmv to your hdd). This should work most of the time.

    SRY for the Dual scree capture. I forgot i hooked my external screen and i am too lazy to crop it :)

    Here, I found a method to get it (same as above poster), and made this convenient video to test out some screen-capture software I got recently.
    http://iza.byethost18.com/dl.swf.html

    It didn't work every time; sometimes it gave the unauthorized link error; but most of the time it worked.
