How To Download Ustream.tv Videos

Before attempting this, please consult with the Ustream.tv terms of service.

This tip shows you how to download a pre-recorded ustream.tv video stream to your local computer as a .flv file.

  1. Navigate to the video stream that you want to download. (note that this does not work on currently streaming videos)
  2. Right-click “Open in popup window” and open the link in a new tab.
  3. In the URL, remove everything before and up to “&flv=”.
  4. Hit refresh and the file should start downloading.

EDIT:

Actually, there is a much easier way, just go here: http://ustream.tv/helpcenter/howto and look for “How to Convert Recorded Video Files to Different File Types and How to Download Them”
