You can get several different plugins for Firefox that’ll download the video. One’s called VideoDownloader (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/). You could convert the flv to something else, or you can download VLC, which will play flv just fine. And as an added bonus, it plays just about anything on Earth, with the exception of Betamax.

If you use Firefox, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/

Allows you to download directly from Firefox.

If you also get the K-Lite codec pack to work, you should be able to play .FLV files in Windows Media Player.

well if your on a unix box, you can convert these flv’s to avi’s quickly with the vixy.net package which just makes it easier to use ffmpeg. unfortunately they have not packaged it well.

goto: http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=183657
download via subversion the package and compile up the app.

It’ll converts these flv files quickly too..

(if I find time I’ll make a freebsd port for it)

Arestube is a free program that runs similarly to tubesock as far as I can tell, and it’s reasy to use.

There’s a sweet app called TubeSock for Mac OS X and Windows users. It’s not free, but it is only $15.

http://stinkbot.com/Tubesock/

From their website:
“TubeSock 2.0 downloads YouTube or DailyMotion videos from the web and saves them to your video iPod, Mac, or PlayStation Portable. TubeSock knows how to convert the video using the codecs and bitrates best for each device. It can even add the video to iTunes for you.”
