This post will tell you on how to easily download flash video from websites (Youtube for example).

For this, you will need Mozilla Firefox browser and DownloadHelper Firefox Addon.

First, install the DownloadHelper addon in Firefox. Then, restart your Firefox. After installing DownloadHelper, you will get a nice DownloadHelper icon beside the address field.

Visit any website that contains the flash video, click the DownloadHelper drop down icon. You will see the list of flash video on that website. Click on the video that you wish to download.

DownloadHelper come with a few nice features. The notable one is, you can choose to download the flash video one-by-one (add to queue) or download all the videos simultaneously. For me, downloading one-by-one is more efficient since it will maximize the bandwidth usage on one download (except if the server connection is much slower than your download speed of course).

Besides, the total flash video downloads count (queue and download in progress) are shown near the DownloadHelper icon.

DownloadHelper supports flash video downloads from tons of sites!
