Download Flash Videos for Free

by Jon Chase on December 1, 2009 at 06:30 AM

While it won't work for all Flash videos (such as those from Hulu.com), the site vixy.net lets you quickly and freely download non-DRMed video from sources like YouTube. You can then easily upload the files to a phone or portable media player (e.g., iPod, Zune, etc). Simply copy the URL of the video you want to download, paste it into vixy.net, choose your preferred video format, and hit Start. Within seconds, the file will appear on your desktop. There are also ad-supported, beta, standalone software packages for both Windows and Mac.
