Flash Video Downloader 2 Universal Binary

Version: 2.0.4 || Release Date: 2008-02-29 || License: Charityware Developer: Tesseract Software

Flash Video Downloader 2 is an application which allows you to easily batch download and save streaming flash videos from just about any website with streaming flash videos as long as the videos are set to autoplay (that is, they start playing when the page loads). Examples of sites are youtube.com, video.google.com, and dailymotion.com, but just about any website will work. Instead of sifting through the html code of the webpage to find the flash video, Flash Video Downloader 2 actually checks where the video is coming from and download it, which will ensure that it will still work even if the page has changed.

Features
• Automatically checks for the newest version
• Locates the video files (.flv) for you so you don't have to deal with complicated "flash video downloading websites" or firefox extensions anymore
• Will continue working even if a flash video site changes its coding because it actually checks where the videos is instead of relying on sifting through html code
• Automatically downloads the video file (.flv) for you so less clicking
• Allows many videos to be downloaded in a batch process, leaving you free to go do something else while Flash Video Downloader takes care of your videos for you
• Progress bars show you the total progress as well as the progress of each video
• Has optional Growl Support to easily notify you of the current progress
• Can shut down the computer and/or beep when its finished
• It's Free!

Version 2.0.1 is able to download from Dailymotion. I have tried twice and I got both FLV files.
I'm not sure yet if it works will all Dailymotion videos, but it's better now.
Thank you, dear developer, for the fast solution for this problem.

@ el_cravito
The same happened to me. It doesn't seem to work well with Dailymotion.

I've tried Flash Video Downloader 2 with YouTube, Veoh and Dailymotion URLs.
It works very well with YouTube and Veoh. It did not miss one single FLV file.
With Dailymotion it was able to download one single FLV file in six or seven tries. The other times it has downloaded pictures, banners or... nothing at all. There must be some kind of problem when trying to locate the FLV file in Dailymotion.
With the other website I tried, no problem.
Nevertheless, it's better than the first version of Flash Video Downloader. Fix the problems with Dialymotion and it'll be a great app.
(Yes... I know I can download FLV file from Safari's activity window and from Firefox with the DownloadHelper extension.)
