help I cannot download video from a new website, there's no direct url and the url are encoded and there's no online downloader, there's no scripts yet.. i want to download this very memorial loving video or audio .....

Sorry to fret you, but if there's no tools, we try the oldschool, but this only work if the the media you trying to play predownloaded to your browser cache. This method i try on firefox
under firefox go to {home}:Program Files/Mozilla/Firefox/63984gl.default/Cache now your directory place might be differ from mine, however look for cache directory under firefox. Now click the file type or size, look for file size that probably the right one. Or simply look for media flv, swf, rbs, mp3 or whatever the media could be, cause the cache name is random and nameless.
after you find the right file on the cache directory, copy or save on your hard drive.

P/S if you can't find any cache file..
1. you must play the the entire clip to have the clip predownloaded in your cache directory
2. Please don't clear cache if you want look for the file in the cache until you not to use the file in cache... only then you can clear all cache and cookie.
If you use IE, not long time ago, it's the same thing. You can look for cache on you browser directory. Same process goes here.

This method mostly usable until now, but if you just can't get the vid, Try to do advance tricks. Go get http sniffer, network sniffer, network analyzer, tools like firebug for mozila, and temper data is for novice users.

More advance tool you could try ethereal to look for hard coded url. Well it seems that this is the GURUs level, I recommend you to learn about them on google. :-). This tool available for variety of OS and even windows.

If you going to record streaming, better google again, click this url, i just made your search keyword, hope this will help.

my 2sen, Why just can't they give us the direct url to download Video?
The world would be so boring if everyone has everything.. And there's nothing to share and talk about. We don't have to go kopitiam talk to our friend, do things together... that's why we don't get direct url. For security reason, it just no way of privacy. If no privacy, just pull the plug, but wait, if the media not reaching the souls of fanatics people who love handphone gadget and pentium Dua Core and BMW, i think these mega company will call it wrap and shutdown thier company, and malaysia don't have to drive BMW hohohoho.... you know what I mean, if don't then don't bother to read this.
