To tell you the truth I wasn't expecting that. Personally I don't understand why
get-flash-videos spend so much time making scripts for every particular web-site. I just adore the approach that is used by rtmpsuck. It seems to me to be a very useful as well as very intelligent work!!!
And I should point out that I'm not against CLI tools. I just want to emphasize the importance of GUI programs for regular users.
I synced my mobile phone with Evolution in Ubuntu using command line tools. I wasn't able to do the same with a bad GUI. But I would prefer to use something like ActiveSync, although the latter is not ideal and uses error-prone development approach.

It also works in msdl:

May be it works now. Back then most programs were able to download an ad only. Please post about it in the iransima.ir thread.
You can try to find more complicated cases where
WM Recorder in the Pro mode was suggested to be used. It will be really interesting to see whether you can avoid capturing packets from Windows Media Player.

A content provider can also allow to access the URL one time only. So when you find a URL with a URL finder, you can't use it anymore. You can of course try to analyze the page source and other things, but this needs time and knowledge... while one can use say Web Stream Dumper from
RMC. Of course it can be interesting for a programmer to write a script, to learn something new about some technology, but this is a completer waste of time for regular users.
You can try to record streams where WebStreamDumper was suggested, if you want.
