Only 3 months late to respond....but you are wrong....i've recovered files that were 700MB in size......

 

You are always rather quick to post before giving the situation some consideration. That post is 3 months old, you just haven't been in here or have not noticed the page hasn't been that active.

BTW, I came in to thank Rivs for some excellent stuff - cheers

 

Save your favorite Movies from any tube
site using FREE FLVDirect Player:

FLV Direct Player is a free nicely designed tool for viewing and enjoying your flash videos. These can be local files stored on any of your drives or online FLV files (such as those on YouTube). No complicated settings, no fancy incomprehensible buttons, just the standard controls you find in any video player, plus the possibility of making a copy of any FLV that this tool can play.

The latter is probably one of the program's most attractive features – it will allow you to open and play any FLV file you can find on the Net and save a copy of it in your system. The process is very simple. You just need to locate the video you would like to watch, then copy its URL and paste it in the ‘Open URL’ box provided. Once FLV Direct has downloaded the video it will automatically start playing. The ‘Save as’ option available in the program’s menu will let you do the rest.

The player’s interface is attractive and intuitive. It includes only those controls that are strictly necessary for you to play and pause your videos, and to change the size of the screen. Finally, the other few options available are neatly grouped in a small pull-down menu.

Do any of you phuckers know of a free program that lets you use your phone camera as a webcam?

 

Here's something that may work http://www.warelex.com/products/webcam/ < Main site

Here is a rapidshare for it... http://www.allyoulike.com/?p=9074

If not, then tell me the make of phone and I'll have another look.

 

Sony ericsson c510 or k750i. Either. Cheers buddy.

 

I tried that one already. I got it installed on the comp ok but couldnt put it on the phone.

 

Why couldn't you put it on the phone? Did you put it in the right place? There's a certain place you need to put apps on an ericison phone.

I'll look for alternatives anyway.

 

yep put it in the usual place but it wouldn't install for some reason. I'll try again.
