Hey can someone tell me what software they use to download videos off of websites like Amazon, and FUNimation.com?

I couldn't find anything that did that, so I just used Camstudio. Camtasia costs money but looks and sound waaaaaay better.

That is an option, but really it's a last ditch to get a video.

If you're good at finding needles in haystacks, you might be able to search through the source code of the webpage for the video. Most professional websites don't allow this though. I can download an embedded video from Kanzentai by looking through the source, but I can't on YouTube. Just do a search on "Flash Downloader" or "Flash Website Grabber" or something and have your preference.

I tried and that didn't work so I just screen recorded it. Believe me, if that did work, I would much rather do that.

The best program for grabbing videos like that would be Orbit Downloader, which I think is freeware. It comes with a plugin called Grab++ which can grab flash based videos and then you can download them. I'm not sure if it works fully on FUNimation's site but I've had no problems getting them on Amazon.

You could alway have more browsers... I have like three. There is always a main one that I use the most but each one has its own advantages and so, its useful.

As I recall, I think I have 4 browsers. Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, and Netscape. :lol: It's funny because that's the order that I last used them.

Try Download Helper. A Firefox plugin. It works with Amazon, YouTube, Kanzentai, Daizenshuu EX, and many other video sites, but not Nicktoons' site and probably not for FUNi's site. Not sure about FUNi's site, though.

I have Download Helper and it DOES work on Nicktoons.com, but not on Funimation.com.

DBZ bootlegs have the movie 9 cover with the pioneer movie 2 description on the back and the disc actually has a Japanese soap opera in MEPG2. :roll:

Doesn't really have much in the way of anything to do with DragonBall. Sorry!
