After the youtube video has completely buffered, copy
the<br>
/tmp/Flashblahblah file to something like ~/file.swf,
and convert it to<br>
an avi:<br>
<br>
$ mencoder file.swf -o file.avi -oac mp3lame -lavcopts<br>
acodec=mp3:abitrate=128 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts
pass=2:bitrate=1600<br>
<br>
$ vlc file.avi<br>

or just<br>
$ mplayer /tmp/Flashblahblah<br>
<br>
thanks!<br>

i can't find any likely flash/cache file during or after
playing a ted talk, eg<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ted.com/talks/rufus_griscom_alisa_volkman_let_s_talk_parenting_taboos.html">http://www.ted.com/talks/rufus_griscom_alisa_volkman_let_s_talk_parenting_taboos.html</a><br>
any idea?<br>

uh, there's a download link right under the video window. :)<br>
guess this site streams w/o buffering to a temp file.<br>
