How to rip streaming movies with firefox

[99%]

Most of you already know this..anyway

Whether its swf,mov,wmv,etc,etc in a page


Method 1 - Via page info
-right clik on page (not on the actaul movie) > clik "page info" > tab "media"
-look for the file described as "embed" (make sure its the right one)
-simply clik "save as"
-done

however sometimes movies take a long time to load - forexample http://www.lotsofrobots.com/Web3/Mov...lay_V2All3.htm
so if you press "save as" - nothing will happen until the movie is totally loaded in the cache. to speed it up
-open the pageinfo>media>clik save as
-then close the page where the movie is loading
-and the "save" menu will instantly pop up.




Method 2 - via adblock extension
V1: clik on the "adblock" tablet thingy above the movie - copy the adress. (close the adblok window - dont clik Ok)
-put in adress bar > enter
-then goto "file" - save page as
-done

V2 : if the movie takes up the whole page (and in most of these cases there is no menu bar) and you cant right clik or save page as - in bottom right of firefox - clik "adblock" - copy adress - open new window in firefox, past in adress - file save page as.



maybe you have better methods?

There's an extension for Firefox which spose to re-enable the right click on those
sites where they think that disabling it prevents something.
(wich it does not, only takes a little more time to get the goods,
ie. its only annoying)

or u can right click a Site, Choose "View Source" and search for any kinda of Media Formats, Example:
Search for a ".Mov" for Quick time formats and copy the URL.
