Hey all, i've been wondering, how is it possible to get the link of mp4/flv files when they playing from flash player.
i have Maxthon browser, and it popups a link for me. but i want to know how they do that my self.

for example, this link:
http://filepancake.com/embed-205zrlxibhnf-650x400.html

what i need to do to get the mp4 file out of it?
and my 1st guess its looking into the html source file. but i couldnt find anything usefull that can help me to locate it

AFAIK there is no plugin that will always work on every site
That's someone's ripper for vkontakte for firefox:

VLC can do this. All you have to do is open the URL as a network stream, save it as an MP4.

thanks for the info, but non of them are usefull for me.

im working on a parser/bot that will surf cartain websites and get the video urls then later it will be stored into a database.
so the only way know is by searching for a link or something close to the link over the html source file of the same website where the video is.

but as mr Handy said, not all the website streaming works the same. so there is no other way?

I don't think you can make a static database.
