A flash movie is one that’s in a format such as FLV. These movies often stream over websites such as YouTube. If you want to use a flash movie from a website such as YouTube when you’re not online, or on a portable media player, you’ll need to “capture” the video directly from the site where it’s currently playing. This will let you download the video to your computer in a way you can save. You’ll want to visit a capture website to make this work.
