Hi! I'm desperately in need of help! Anyone knows how to grab embedded videos like this:

http://mediacenter.gazzetta.it/MediaCenter/action/player?uuid=78a3b0dc-05d8-11db-b53d-0003ba99c53b&pagina=1&filtro=tutti&menu=main3&idCanale=Mondiale2006&idCanaleADV=Mondiale2006&testoRicerca=cannavaro

or this?

http://www.skylife.it/html/skylife/sport/articolo/Calcio/25_08_videocalcio1.html

I tried to use URLSnooper to get the links and then download the video. Most of the time nothing relevants are shown but sometime it gave me the link and protocol of "rtmp". (e.g. URLSnooper gave me this for the first video - "rtmp://fcs.quotidiani.speedera.net/vod/fcs.quotidiani/mediacenter/gazzetta/content/Mondiale2006/5", is it relevant?) And what should I do with it???

I see someone actually grab them and put it on youtube so there must be a way! Can anyone shed some light please? I'd be eternally grateful.

Okay I just downloaded Firefox and this little add on, but it still doesn't work.

For the first video, it said "not a valid URL". For the second video, it couldn't find the link of the video also. *sigh*....

WebStream recorder Pro is supposed to handle this kind of thing (http://www.sytexis.com/index.php?page=wsrecorderpro).

Try it - if it works and you want to register it, there'a DC members discount (40% off) that might still be in effect.

*sigh* I've downloaded it and tried it but it still doesn't work. It appears that I need to enter a valid URL in order to download any video.... but all I get from URLsnooper is some "rtmp" link.

Thank you though.
