Capturing video from a website?
First off, let me say this project is legal. My client has a series of flash training moduals on their website. He has “no time to locate the originals for me” and would like me to capture and compress video from Safari. Is there a program that can “grab” a portion of the screen and turn it into video?
I searched the archives for this one, and didn’t see anything.

“No time to find the originals” means that what you are grabbing will be of far INFERIOR quality than what you can do with the originals. BUT…if the client is happy with the results, so be it.

Hi
Or use Safari’s Window Menu>Activity option – once the Flash video has downloaded Option Double-click on the .flv file and it will be copied to your hard-drive.
Then use Perian from https://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/perian.html to enable QT to view and transcode the movie to an FCP-friendly codec. -
Hi
Ooops, there’sw a more recent version of Perian from their own website:

If you have a MXO it can be used as a scan converter. I just did this for a client who only had Flash versions of their videos on a CD. I played the Flash on my MBP out through the MXO and captured the component signal with FCP. It looked great.
