Save Flash video files from local cache
For those savvy with the Terminal.app:
The real trick is to use the "ln" command to create a hard link from the flash file that's currently recorded to another file. That way, even if Flash is done showing the file and deletes the temporary flash file, you'll keep it under the hard-linked name.

Would you expand upon this a bit; using ln in terminal. Maybe a sample of your procedure? Is it still possible under 10.8. I see a bunch of cache files in the Media Cache folder:
Save Flash video files from local cache
It seems sites like Youtube don't create playable flv files any more. In 10.7.5 I see that it creates files in a dedicated "MediaCache" folder, and those files don't play in VLC. With a few othes sites that I occasionally visit, I still see files created in the temp folder that I can play with VLC, though, even in OS X 10.8.2. Edited on Feb 17, '13 07:24:54AM by tempel
Save Flash video files from local cache
Glad to get a reply. I opened the "CachedMedia" file using textedit and noticed the header (text at top of file) is quite different than the header in a playable file. The CachedMedia file when open in a text editor starts with Dfrei and is followed by an xml plist header. The question is what process natively reads that file as a video. Or is it converted before it's read by the browser or browser plug ins. Safari will play it over and over again from the cache file it doesn't download it each time. |
