I was trying to save some tuts on how to use backtrack. Sometimes I would hit control-S and hit webpage complete and I’d get the whole thing. Other times I’d get a small web page and a swf file.
I believe this is called ‘a stream’ and I’d like to get an understanding of how your computer interacts with them and how to save/capture them onto my hard disk.
I also tried wget but that did not work either.
If I wanted more info on the subject (it is most interesting) what would I search for on the web?
My tiny contribution. For some time I used streamripper (it is in the Packman repo) to record shoutcasts. It creates MP3 files. Thus it is sound only. But maybe you can use it as a strating point in your search.

If possible, it would be better if a sample link is posted so that
someone can find an appropriate method to extract the relevant
multimedia content from the web page
An easier way would be to play the video and “record” you screen and
audio content using a stream recorder

Quite well, depending on the type of stream and how the OS handles it.e
Both openSUSE and Ubuntu seem to handle stream quite good while some othrs like fedora and debian dont do as well
It looks as ig the OP has gone for a vacation or so. Nothing heard rom him since the first post here one and a half week ago. Thus I assume that more answers are useless.

This OP doesn’t have access to the 'net from home, only from the library,
as I recall. His posts typically go a week or more without a follow-up,
but he does eventually come back.

Thanks Jim.
I forgot, it was not back track I had been downloadiong a bunch of tuts from the various sites referanced as “Top security tools” from Zenmap - Official cross-platform Nmap Security Scanner GUI
The particular tutorials I’m looking at downloading:
Backtrack 4 Video – USB With “Full” Disk Encryption
And a few others from immunitysec.com.
Again, I do manage to get the swf file.
But firefox will not open the page to anything other then a blank document. The other web browsers: midori, konqueror, opera, etc. do the same.

I tried the 2nd one, it opened fine and displayed the flash, in FireFox.
But my download plugin (Flash Video Downloader 4.0.7) refused to
download it.

I can open the swf files(File==>File open) using Firefox and it does
play the swf file

Which isn’t the media stream. Some sites use flash-developed stuff to
keep the streaming stuff from being ripped.
So it sounds like what you’re asking for is help in downloading content
that the content provider doesn’t want you to be able to download. They
get to make that call - they hold the copyright (presumably) or have
licensed the content for a specific purpose.

Hi
In firefox I viewed the source, copied the url, used wget -c to grab.
Then opened in firefox as a local file to play…

Considering that the software is free I don’t see why the docs/tuts would be protected from being copied.
Does Firefox need an add-on in order to play the flash videos?
I tried downloading one of the videos using the FlashGot add-on for Seamonkey. It downloaded the video as an mp4, and it plays just fine.
Thanks, it worked!
There is more to the story though, Firefox needs an add-on to display the swf files. It also needs an add-on to download them.
So, bottom line, add-ons, add-ons, add-ons.
That’s strange, when I right click the FlashGot icon (only tried the first video link) I only got a choice of an MP4. Maybe you can convert the SWF to something else? Sometimes when I try converting file formats I lose the a-v sync, though. If those SWF clips are from something else, maybe you could just re-try using FlashGot.
Ok, I tried the 2 below that, those aren’t video clips, they are html pages, so I guess those can’t be downloaded with FlashGot. Oh well, at least part of the problem is solved.
