RealPlayer to Support One-Click Video Ripping

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the easier-than-ever dept.

Aditi.Tuteja writes "RealPlayer is coming up with a free version in June which will allow one-click video ripping. This free downloadable video player will allow anyone to save and organize video files in all major formats including Flash, QuickTime, RealMedia and Window Media and will support video ripping from websites like YouTube or more. The new RealPlayer will not download or record video that is DRM-enabled."

    The Flash plugin has always allowed you to rip streams.
    1. Open your %TEMP% folder.
    2. Start playing todays 15 seconds of fame clip on YouTube's frontpage.
    3. Notice the flaXXX.tmp file that just appeared in the temp folder.
    4. When the clip has finished playing, copy the file somewhere and rename it to HE_iS_BURNiN_HIMS3LF_LOLZ!!!.flv
