I've found that those helper apps (like the "DownloadThemAll" firefox extension) do not always work with all of the flash video sites out there. I dunno exactly why though my guess is that they fail when javascript comes into play. And don't forget that videos are only a litte part of the flash based sites, there games and online applications that depend on flash. > 2) You have a copy of the video, in case it's removed from YouTube And who in this world wants to have his terabyte hard disk full of cute - meow- cats? ;-) 3) Flash is evil ;) Let me be a bit more picky here. Flash is evil because Adobe made it so. Adobe's Flash Player, completely open, properly done, developed and programmed could have its use.
