How to download embedded Flash videos

Till lately downloading videos was a breeze for Linux user. Some changes brought by Adobe made this impossible. Let me show u how.
Linux users had it all easy with flash videos including Facebook, YouTube, Metacafe, etc. they just had to open file explorer and head to the temp folder without closing the page to get a buffered copy of their video.



PROS
The noob/novice users ask a GUI for everything and as such there exists a YouTube downloading software which lets you watch and download videos from YouTube called 'minitube'. It doesn't use flash but is a native client for YouTube

To install open terminal and copy past the first line and then the next.
If prompted for password enter it and press enter.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get install minitube





CONS
The second way, probably the better one was to install a supporting software capable of downloading videos from command line interface.
Windows users can relate it to using the "cmd"/command prompt
many users who prefer CLI use "youtube-dl" a Linux software dedicated to downloading YouTube videos.

To install open terminal and copy past the first line and then the next.
If prompted for password enter it and press enter.

sudo apt-get install youtube-dl






Problem that may occur -
The worst which users can face is to go to this folder and find the video
'~/.cache/xyz/default/cache/'
where xyz can be chrome or chromium whichever was used.

Note :
  1. Hidden folders can be seen in Nautilus the file manager for most Linux distros by < Ctrl >h
  2. Arrange the files in the cache folder by date modified to optimize your search.
