Hi I have managed to download a streaming video,using Sothink. but the format is not recognized. which makes it impossible to convert. How do I tell what format the streaming video is ?. and can you suggest any programs that will recognize the format.
Here is the link to the web page with the vid, that I downloaded, if this helps . Thanks x:o)
The online streaming video you saved is flash and the format is flv.

Looking at my temporary internet files it appears to be downloading as swf.
The "Pazera Free FLV to AVI Converter" appears to convert swf / flv files. The user reviews are good although they converted flv files.

I'm going to wait for the complete download to give this a whirl... I'm curious now.

Ahh thanx for your curiosity,:o) I tried to do a screenshot of this half a dozen times, perhaps if I zoom in, then save the screen shot . ??
update I downloaded, The Pazera program, but this cannot see or recognize the video file, It wont play in Real player, WMP. sothink flv player. etc. And I cannot find it to convert it in any of the flv conversion program that I have, even though it is in the My Videos section :o)

I tried grabbing the file with Orbit and it couldn't do the job.
I let it stream through then went to the internet cache file to copy it over from there and it was gone.
What size is the file you have saved? It should at least be a few MB in size judging by the length of time it streams.
