All HTTP .FLV video can be grabbed from the cache folder of your web-browser, so you don't really need to buy anything.

Sometimes one can't record a flash stream with a stream recorder untill pressing the Pause or Stop buttong in the embedded Adobe Flash player.

There are lots of methods of downloading .FLV HTTP video streams. It is even very hard to tell all of them.


You should also note that WM Recorder can't record rtmp:// video streams. There are only three Flash stream recorders I know that can do that.

FLV Recorder is good at recording password-protected .FLV video streams. It supports both RTMP and HTTP streams. It captures packets from an embedded flash player (like WM Recorder in the PRO mode when capturing real media and windows media streams) so there is no way you can be detected by a content provider when recording any flash streaming video. If you wanna buy it, please try its free demo version and make sure it works for you.
