Hi there

Though I love youtube_dl [1] for grabbing youtube videos, I needed to download a video from blip.tv (interview with Jon "maddog" Hall). This morning, I came across "get-flash-videos", which can download videos from blib.tv, among all these other webpages, too: YouTube, eHow, Brightcove (used by many sites like Channel 4, Daily Telegraph ...), BBC (news, etc), Metacafe, 5min, Google, fliqz, nicovideo, vimeo, Blip, Break, Collegehumor, Muzu, Sevenload, Megavideo, Wat.tv

Here's the project's homepage: http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/

Installation instructions -- it's written in perl, so should run on most platforms: http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/wiki/Installation

Cheers, Peter
