How to download / convert .swf
I've done quite a bit of googling but can't figure out how to download a flash video to my HD (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/drum). When I look at the source and download the .swf manually, it appears it's an audio-only file =/. mplayer / ffmpeg just don't see any video.

Re: How to download / convert .swf
In Firefox you may use the Video DownloadHelper addon. It worked here perfectly for the drum_www.albinoblacksheep.com_.swf.

Re: How to download / convert .swf
mplayer does not work with swf files here as well. You need a dedicated flash viewer for this. I simply open the file locally in my browser.

Re: How to download / convert .swf
Just installed bin32-flashplayer-standalone. It works perfectly as a stand-alone swf player.

It is in community. Has been updated here today: 2010-02-02 09:11.
Perhaps you need to wait a bit until your server has updated.

Re: How to download / convert .swf
There is a 32-bit package in the AUR, too.
