Help Please!!!

I'm not sure if anyone can help me with this, or if it is even possible, but I'll ask anyway. I am creating a DVD photoshow for my neice. That I can do. She did a benefit skydive, that was taped and plays on the web. I can access it through my email, and it plays using adobe flash player. I want to add the video to her dvd, but can't figure out how?? I even thought of video taping my screen, (as a last resort) anyone have any ideas?? Thanks in advance, Ann

Depending on where it is etc, there are two parts to this -- the
first is to manage to grab a copy of the flash file (I assume it
is flash from your comment). Once you have it, the second part
is to convert from flash to a format that Proshow understands.
There are a number of converters -- if you search the forum
here, you will find a number of discussions on converting flash
files to a format that you can use. The first part, though is to
figure out how to get the file. It depends where it is and what
it is hosted on how you do that. You will have to do some
snooping with Google etc to find out how to grab a copy of
it. Work that part of the problem first and we can go from there.

I use a neat little "free" utility for my Firefox Internet browser called Download Helper.

http://www.downloadhelper.net/

Download Helper rests on my Firefox task bar and when it finds a video that it can download it signals me telling me it knows exactly where to go to get the file.

Download Helper works great by taking all the work out of trying to find the Internet address where the video file is located.

All I have to do at this point is tell it to save the file for me by clicking "save"

You will get far better quality if you can find who taped it and can get a copy of the original from them

I can not figure out how to capture the video from this site. Perhaps I don't have the technical ability or mental apptitude, but I don't know how. The site is www.realxstreamvideo.com I tried Firefox, which I do not use, but it would not let me download, after I downloaded downloadhelper.com. Thanx so much for all of you suggestions. Will try to work on it. Nice to know there is someone to ask. Have a great Holiday, Ann

By the way . . . this web site is VERY s-l-o-w loading and requires a fast Internet connection.

I was able to view their on-line skydiving videos but could not find any way to download them

You are right, the actual site I have is www.realxstream.com. My link adds the video wording. Sorry for the mix up. I don't have a problem with the speed, it is just a matter of capturing flash video. Tried a software called Fraps, but that only allows for videos played by a media player. Still looking for something. Thanks for the help, and sorry for the wrong web address. Ann

Ann,
I don't know if it is just "puff or hype" but this site features a software program (I have never used it) that says it is the ONLY software available that can do what you want. I really don't know but thought I would send the link so you can look at it. Good luck.

Mikey, I know how much you try to help everyone. I always appreciate your input and thanks for trying to help.
Brian, If I had not waited until the last minute, your info would be the best way to go, but always the procrastinator, I lost track of time and didn't get a chance to get a copy in time.
Dan, Thanks for taking the time to try to help it is always appreciated. I can tell you spent sometime trying to help.
Jerry, Your site seems to work fine, but for some reason won't record this (for whatever reason) By all rights it appears that it should, but I'm using the demo mode and it just won't.
I have uploaded the first draft, and would appreciate any and all critiques. One of the wonderful attributes of this forum and program is that I have until 12:00 AM Sept 7th to upload a final draft and give it to my niece.
I was going to have the slide with her on the floor and the TV playing in the background, open up the video. Zoom in and play the jump. A good thought, but unattainable from what I can see.
If you would like to view here is the link. It is show # 10 Keriann

Any critiques would be appreciated. I know I didn't get the slides moving right in the beginning, but am brain dead @ this point.
Thanks to all of you for trying to help. Ann
