Many sites with videos use embedded flash players to show videos. I often want to download the whole video to avoid pauses for buffering and watch when offline.
To accomplish this in Firefox, add the Live HTTP Headers add-on. Then when obtaining the video (or other file), this add-on will give you the direct address to the file. Using Linux, I download the file using the command wget.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2015 with a PhD in Computer Science. You can follow me around the internet by starting with my about.me page.
