I'm using "Download Helper" add-on to download videos. The issue I am having is when there is a flash video. Sometimes there is an advertisement that plays which follows with the actual video I'm looking to download. For some reason, these videos do now show up with the normal process to download videos with download helper. Anyone have a suggestion or know how to solve this? Thanks.

When you tell it to download, does it report one or more choices? If more then one choice is given, download all of them but rename them as file1, file2 . . . .

Also, wait until the clip you want starts playing.

when i wait for the actual video i want to start to actually start running, it doesnt give me the same option to download anymore. example...try going to the cmt website to download a show. after the ad runs, you cant download the episode.

Yes, some sites have blockers in place to stop users from saving the clips. I think there are add-ons that can get the clip from the cache or the internet temp folders. Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and look around.
