Download Flash Video with DownThemAll

About This Guide

DownThemAll is a popular add-on for Firefox which functions as a download manager and accelerator. It also has the ability to sniff out and download flash videos, which this guide will show you how to do. There are easier ways to download flash video, so this guide is intended for those who already use Firefox with DownThemAll.

This will not work for all flash videos on the web. Some websites, such as Hulu, use DRM which prevents external programs from ripping the video. However, this should work for most videos on Youtube.

Prerequisites

For this guide, you will need the Mozilla Firefox web browser and the DownThemAll! add-on.

Configure DownThemAll

After installing DownThemAll, you must enable the option to sniff out flash video.

Open the DownThemAll! settings and enable the option, Record and list (Flash) videos.
