Hulu uses secure RTMPE streams. Software developed in the U.S.A. and many other countries can't download RTMPE streams, because otherwise it would violate DMCA.
You can download Hulu videos with freeware command line utility
rtmpdump in Linux, Windows and Mac OS. You can also use rtmpsuck that comes with it to download Hulu videos in Linux and Mac OS. And you can use
get-flash-videos, another command line utility that uses rtmpdump.
Hulu videos can also be downloaded with freeware
StreamTransport (Windows) or with shareware
GetFLV.
Note that
RTMPE stream downloaders stop working with Hulu from time to time, but you can always use
screen video capture software to record Hulu videos from screen.
