[dba-Tech] Snag a flash video?

Jim,
This Firefox plugin actually seems to work quite well with many
sites-thanks!

However, I was unable to get it to work with the MSN site that Tina posted.
I was also unable to get to the IE plugin. 

Are you able to?

John B.

Hi Tina:

The Flash file is being stored in your email history folder and when you
have just finished viewing it it will be the last record there. Usually a
strange numbered thing. I use the Softhink SWF Decompiler at
http://www.sothink.com/ which costs about $80, runs as a browser plug-in and
can strip anything out of a flash file.

Hi again,

Jim, Susan, and John, thanks - but I'm still stumped.  Here's what I've
found so far:  the little theater box that plays the video on msn is itself
soapbox1_1.swf, but it takes a content parameter that identifies the video,
like this: vid=3D369e8b9c-e639-45f2-a400-3bb847ea01b8.  So, each of the
tools I have found for capturing a flash video, captures the little theater
box, but not the content of the moment.

If I could just find exactly where the little monster is being stashed,
maybe I could snag it.

I've studied the source HTML for the page until my eyes are crossed, and
haven't figured it out.

Any more ideas?

Tina
