% cd /tmp
The GUI apps have not worked out yet, so I revisited /tmp (Ubuntu
Linux). Although there was nothing with a .swf file extension I found
another growing file, always something like FlashrXtjwm when I restarted
the video.
% clear ; find . -type f -exec ls -l {} \; | grep Flash ; cp Flash*
video.swf
So after locating the file, I started repeatedly copying it to a saved
name. I had to do it this way because they automatically load a
succeeding video. Anyway after repeating this a couple times I got to
what I think was the right byte count when it ended. I was able to load
the renamed video.swf file, but it is generally unusable.
It runs at about 1/10 normal speed I can't tell if the audio even works
for this reason. Getting this to work is a wanna, not a gotta. My
client is going to check with the powers at CBS and ABC and try to
obtain originals.
I appreciate all the suggestions.
