I leaned that I can download flash video clips using only firefox browser without using 3 rd party software,so when a video starts playing I select tools- page info -media, then I should select the video file and save it,I am looking for a file with swf extension in order to save it, but here is the snag as many video file names are so long that it is impossible to see the extension which is normally at the end of the name,what shall I do?

Try with Firefox Addons

Try with RealTime Player - move an arrow over the flash video, realtime player shows a download link
