Downloading flash content with Safari?

Now that the Activity Window has gone away, I'm looking for a way to simply download flash video from within Safari (not interested in a standalone application).
I know about Click To Flash, but I would like a way to simply get the .flv file - I'm not looking to convert (Click To Flash does not appear to have this option, unless I'm missing something).
Any suggestions?

I have noticed that some videos on YouTube allow a right mouse button or trackpad click that pops up a menu with a download entry. This will download a .mp4 copy of the current video. You might also google Mactubes. Latest version is 3.1.4 and works on ML. Can you live with the mp4 format or do you still want the .flv format?

Flash Content on Safari Stutters Badly...

I am trying to troubleshoot for my sister who has an iMac G4 800mhz; 768mb RAM; 64mb VRAM; running 10.4.10
Quicktime trailers play fine for her in Safari, (or on her desktop), but with Flash content, like at Youtube, or Comedy Central, the video playback stutters badly. I define stutter, as unwatchable jumpy video, and audio that plays back better than the video, but also drops out occasionally.
I've upgraded her to the the latest version of Flash, and that did nothing. I also downloaded Firefox, just to check another browser, and Flash content stutters there to.
My next idea, as a test, was to download a flash file to her desktop, and see if it stutters there without using Safari, and it's flash plugin, as the player.
So I downloaded a flash file from youtube, (by doubleclicking it in the activity window, which automatically downloads a file called, "get video," with no file extension, and a generic icon.)
I then added a .flv on the end of the file name, and the icon turned into a flash icon.
Now, I want to note, on my computers, when I add a .flv on the end of the name of one of these files I've downloaded from Youtube, when I highlight it in a finder window under column view, I see a preview of the movie, which I can play there. I can also ctrl click, and choose, open with other, (because flash player will not open an flv file), and choose Quicktime as the app, it opens and plays.
On her computer, when I highlight the same file in column view in her finder window, there is no preview visible, just a large flash icon, and the file will not open with her Quicktime app either.
Now, I could care less whether she can play the darn things on her desktop, though I am perplexed that I cannot. (I was just troubleshooting.) Btw, we are both using the same versions of OSX 10.4.10; Safari 2.0.4; Quicktime 7.2; and Flashplayer 9.0
All I want is for her to be able to play Flash content on Safari without the stutter.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply.
I've been hearing nothing but crickets!
I guess it's just the old machine that's the problem. Thanks for the confirmation, -that you have had the same experience.
No wonder the "five bar," pros that work these boards have had no solutions to offer. They're usually, on the money.
I am aware of downloading the flv files and converting them with iSquint. I've told her she can do that, and while that would be fine for me, (though I don't have this problem), it's not a solution she is happy with. I use my activity window to find and download flash files all the time, that don't have a download link readily available. I suppose if she wants the vid badly enough, she will call me and I'll walk her through it.
She has been talking about upgrading her system, for some time now, so this will just be one more reason for her to do so.
Thanks again!

HT5701 Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4?

Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Hello, I think you need to start a discussion on the Action Script forum. This is the Flash Player forum, the browser plugin.

Adobe Flash Player with Safari problem

Youtube says that I need to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player when I have already done so. It also says this on multiple sites where I can watch flash content as well. What do I need to do?

Make sure you are using the correct version of Flash Player.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Note that the latest Flash Player update only works on YouTube with Safari in 32 bit mode - until YouTube correct this.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

No Sound when viewing Flash content in Safari for Windows

Hopefully someone can help.
Just recently, I've been unable to get sound when viewing Flash content on the web.
I currently use Safari for Windows, when I use Internet Explorer on the same computer I can get sound. Just no sound when using Safari for Windows????
Please help, I like Safari for Windows much better than I.E. but I'm forced to use IE when I want to watch something with sound.
Thank you

Problem updating Adobe Flash Player with Safari

Hello!
I'm trying to update Adobe Flash Player using Safari on a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.10.1 but every time I download the update the file looks like this:
and when I try to start the installation this window appears:
I tried several different download links but non of them worked. I also uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player and tried to reinstall it but then I have the same problem. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

For some reason that I have yet to determine, people with Matlab installed start getting .mdlp extensions appended to their downloaded files. That's what happened here. Rename the file to remove .mdlp (so that it ends in .dmg), then double-click the file and it should work.

Overlay Flash content with HTML

I have been working to fix a layout that uses DHTML menus and
has Flash in the middle of the page... Like many others I am having
some issues with the DHTML menu not overlaying the Flash content.
I have read this post :
Fixing
Safari's wmode flicker that looked to be the solution but in
this case it did not work all together...
Here is a
link to the site...
I had tried using an class on the <li> tags that gave
it a background image. This worked in IE 6 & 7 and FF on Mac
but it did not work on FF on Windows... I thought that might be as
close as I could get for the moment so I added in SWFobject for my
Flash detection and Alt display and now none of the above works at
all...
So my question is... What is the "Best Standard" for
accomplishing this overlay of Flash with HTML content?
If you can provide relative links to the topic for reference
that would be helpful too... I've only been able to locate a few
with one being here in the CSS Advisor beta.

Correction: This class with on the <li> tag corrected
this in all browsers except Safari... When I added the SWFobject
for detection / alt content it caused the overlay to no longer
function.

Can no longer download journal articles with Safari or Firefox

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Problem downloading large pdf with Safari

Has anyone else had this problem when clicking on a link to a large pdf file (1MB) I get a blank screen in Safari. When I try with firefox its fine only with safari is there anything I need to change to allow downloads of larger pdf files in safari?

1MB isn't a particularly large file at all. Can we assume that you've verified that Safari will open smaller PDF's?
Also, you haven't mentioned what Adobe product and version you are using (may help to give the version of Safari as well).

Replace flash content with jpg or gif

Hi
Can anyone point me towards the correct code to insert that
will replace a SWF with a static image (either GIF of JPG) if the
user does not have Flash installed?
Thanks

.oO(Stefan83)
>Can anyone point me towards the correct code to insert

Pure HTML:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="example.swf" width="200" height="150">
<param name="movie" value="example.swf">
Alternative non-Flash content
</object>
Might not work in older browsers, though.

How to download flash video with firefox only?

I leaned that I can download flash video clips using only firefox browser without using 3 rd party
software,so when a video starts playing I select tools- page info -media, then I should select the video
file and save it,I am looking for a file with swf extension in order to save it, but here is the snag as many video file names are so long that it is impossible to see the extension which is normally at the end of the name,what shall I do?

Try with Firefox Addons
*http://addons.mozilla.org/
Try with RealTime Player - move an arrow over the flash video, realtime player shows a download link
