How to download videos from www.Hulu.com onto your computer?

How can I download videos from Hulu.com onto my computer?

I prefer applications that download the video directly from the browser, without having to install the application itself. But I just need a reliable method of getting videos from Hulu without getting viruses or security compromises.

Thanks in advance!

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.
