Here's how to capture .FLV HTTP stream with Unlocker:

• Download and install Unlocker.
• Unlocker assistant will launch automatically.
• Navigate to a web-page and start playing your flash video stream
• When the flash video finishes playing, Go to temp folder by the following: Start -> Run, typing %temp%.
• Find a file with the name flaXXX.tmp, this is your flash video. Left click on it and use the Unlocker.
• Use the Copy Action and save the file with .flv extension.
• Now you can play the .flv video file

Can it do full episodes from CBS? Jaksta
is great, but's it's kinda pricey.

Try to download RTMPE streams from CBS with freeware CBS Grabber.


The paid version of the program called save2pc Pro + Extra Pack supports more web-sites.

I can't believe CBS, I just finished downloading all the episodes of Star Trek and now they've uploaded remastered versions in HD. Some of them are in 1080P I'm trying to download them again with the high res, but they only download at 80-90k and the total file size is around 900mb. It's going to take forever at this pace.

Looks like I spoke too soon, I am able to get 166 kb/s it took 1.5 hours to download a 50 minute show. I have a little more bandwidth available I wish it would go faster.

Hi thomasguide, GetFLV 8.8.61 is working very well, great program. They have done a wonderful and difficult job perfecting the program. I love the original StarTrek series. And we can now download the episodes in HD format.

I'm not able to get anything from CBS as of 11/15/09. The only thing GetFLV is able to download are the commercials. I'm on version 8.8.7.1.

Looks like CBS is wise to the game.

It used to work fine, up until a few days ago. I can't download anything from the hd videos.

Is anyone able to get anything other than commercials. Using GetFLV 8.8.7.2? Or does it not work for nonHD either?

ETA: Please ignore, it worked.

Has something changed? GetFLV isn't working for me since 2 days for CBS?
