How to Capture and Save a Flash Video

1. Open and play the video in Safari.
   
2. Copy the video file from its saved location in /private/var/folders/ and give it a .flv extension. The file will be in location with randomly chosen directory names, e.g., /private/var/folders/Lb/Lbis5JtsGb0VIR-vYYdZ4E+++TI/TemporaryItems/FlashTmp0.
   

   $ sudo find /private/var/folders -name 'FlashTmp*'
   
   /private/var/folders/Lb/Lbis5JtsGb0VIR-vYYdZ4E+++TI/TemporaryItems/FlashTmp0
   
   $ sudo cp /private/var/folders/Lb/Lbis5JtsGb0VIR-vYYdZ4E+++TI/TemporaryItems/FlashTmp0 ~/Desktop/movie.flv
   $ sudo chmod 644 ~/Desktop/movie.flv

   
   
3. Open the movie with your favorite player (I've used VLC and had it work).
