Question

I am using Ubuntu.Sometimes I am watching videos tutorials from several sites. Some sites have download section, some sites not having downlod link. I don't want to watch the same tutorial again and again with the help of internet. So I want to download the streaming videos when I watch it first time, so I will refer the video tutorial next time without internet connection. I know that Internet Download Manager available for this in Windows OS. But I want know that is there any linux application available to download all live streaming videos and audios from Website. Does anyone know applications to download streaming videos from video streaming websites?

Explanation / Answer

It depends a lot on the protocol used to stream the video. At a minimum, you could use a screen capture tool like RecordMyDesktop (easy to find in the Software Center). This is a good how-to.

If you are looking for something to specifically capture RTMP (although a lot of streaming sites are moving away from plain RTMP), you could use rtmpdump (might also be available in the Software Center). It can act as a proxy server for your media connections. There are instructions for using it with iptables NAT to make sure that it captures everything (1, 2), but I have never used it that way.
