okay, this is veering off-topic but seeing as I found the info here :)

I managed to find in Opera cache the flash file from this page
http://www.vimeo.com/1109226?pg=embed&sec=1109226 as mentioned by justice in Radiohead Nude - by Epson, Hp, Spectrum & harddrives

as said found in opera cache, without extension so I added that (.swf) and tried it in Media Player classic without success
then I tried VLC Media Player (VLC_Portable_0.8.6h, from portable apps) and it played but the colour is appalling - very dark & very over-saturated

just wondering does anyone have any other player tips ?

there is a nifty tool by Nirsoft that scans the cache folders of IE & Mozilla and list all the files currently stored in those folders.

• IECacheView
• MozillaCacheView

- it is a .FLV file, (and is 37½ MB).
RealPlayer 11's download manager will grab it without any problems.

tomos:
thanks Curt - funny that it worked with the wrong extension :) explains why it didnt work in Media Player Classic though

Lanux -
that sounds good, esp for FF cache where files dont seem to be recognisable
PS/edit
thanks for the player tips in the other thread too :up:

Curt:
... to try and download a short movie, the URL it gives me is http://www.dancingonice.com/goodfellas/main.4.swf

From where I am situated there is no "www.dancingonice.com" except being redirected to iTV.
And on iTV there is nothing at all, (no videos, that is) because it is all for U.K. citizens only.




And not one of wr975's many links gave me anything...
