WIXI - downloading videos

This is a little step through to remind me of how to download videos from the wixi.com web application for viewing at a later date.

  1. observe where the website is saving your flash temporary files.
  2. more often that not it would be in "C:\Documents and Settings\geekfreak\Local Settings\Temp"
  3. run HOBOCOPY and copy the fla***.tmp somewhere safe. Its the .tmp file thats so big it stands out above the rest, not hard to miss.
  4. Tip : wait for the video to finish loading before copying. other wise you wont get the whole video.
  5. rename the file from fla****.tmp to robocop.flv
  6. play your movie in a supporting flash video player like videolan or whichever you prefer.
