cheers
Actually, you are right, it does not work... Here is what I did: I clicked on your link and waited until the video started to play. Then I selected to view the page source. In the source, I looked for the section that specifies what movie to play (you can search for .swf in the source to find that). It looked something like this:
var oeTags = '<object id ="flashMovie"'
+ 'codeBase ="http://download.macromed
+ 'height ="586"'
+ 'width ="850"'
+ 'classid ="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf
+ '<PARAM NAME="FlashVars" VALUE="csConfigFile=joom_t
+ '<PARAM NAME="Movie" VALUE="joom_tut_1_V2_contr
+ '<PARAM NAME="WMode" VALUE="Window"/>'
+ '<PARAM NAME="Quality" VALUE="best"/>'
+ '<PARAM NAME="SAlign" VALUE="TL"/>'
+ '<PARAM NAME="Menu" VALUE="FALSE"/>'
+ '<PARAM NAME="BGColor" VALUE="FFFFFF"/>'
+ '<EMBED id ="EmbedflashMovie"'
+ ' flashvars ="csConfigFile=joom_tut_1_
+ ' src ="joom_tut_1_V2_controller
+ ' quality ="best"'
+ ' bgcolor ="FFFFFF"'
+ ' width ="850"'
+ ' height ="586"'
+ ' pluginspace ="http://www.macromedia.co
+ '<\/EMBED>'
I then took the filename that was associated with the "Movie" name and replaced the original .html filename with that. This means that the filename was a bit different than the one for the HTML file (it has the "controller" in it).
Once you have that, you should be able to save that file (you can also use curl or wget to save the file directly without going through the browser - curl comes with every Mac OS installation, but is also available for Windows).

I played the flash video from the url you provided and it stored the full flash in my temp IE files, no need to capture it.
Did you look?
I also gave you flash player so that the icons are easier to see?
You can use cam studio to capture them. but seems a waste when you can just copy them out of your temp internet files folder.
Cam Studio. If you have black screen after recording simply disable the direct draw prior, go to start /run / type in dxdiag press enter
open display tab> then disable direct draw acceleration. Remember to put it back.
Select regeon instead of full screen.

You will have to allow each of the tutorials to play until about half way through until they are fully cached and able to be copied out from your Temporary nternet Files folder. Until that point, the file will keep increasing in size, and if you copy it out too soon you don't get the complete video in the file.
One thing you may have trouble with in Windows XP is the fact that you cannot normally see all the sub-folders of your own Temporary Internet Files folder. There is a way to open them to see the contents in Windows Explorer. You can paste the following command into the Start Menu's "Run" field and press Enter (or click OK):
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e,%homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
For a more permanent method, Right-Click on your Desktop and choose New > Shortcut. Enter the above command into the "Type the location for the item" field when the dialog shows. Click the Next button, then type any name for your new shortcut, eg. Show Temp Internet Files. It will default to "explorer.exe". Now Right-Click on the new shortcut and choose "Properties". You have the optio to open Windows Explorer Maximized rather than in "noral window", and you can change the icon if you wish. Using this method, you can view the contents of all the sub-folders that normally won't show.
There is one other issue. When viewed online, the video is played within a "player" that has controls so you can stop and restart the video. That "player" comes in the form of the file referenced in the earlier html code:
"joom_tut_1_V2_controller.
You can ignore the file "joom_tut_1_V2_preload.swf
The main video will be cached as "joom_tut_1_V2[1].swf" (3,337KB).
The "controller" is cached as "joom_tut_1_V2_controller[
The loader is cached as "joom_tut_1_V2_preload[1].
The config file is cached as "joom_tut_1_V2_config[1].x
Be aware that the files you see directly under the "Temporary Internet Files" folder are just a front-end to the files cached in the sub-folders of the folder:
\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\
The handy thing about the Temporary Internet Files folder is that it has the comumn named "Internet Address", so you can see where the file loaded from by right-clicking on it and choosing "Prperties". It isn't always as straightforward as replacing the "filename.htm" of the page that loaded the video with the video file name (*.swf). Sometimes the video files are fetched in from deeper sub-folders, or from back up in a common repository folder.

Open that *.xml file in Notepad and look for the <PIP> tag. Under that there is something interesting in the code, namely an *.flv file being referenced as:
<MovieURL>joom_tut_1_V2_PIP.
Translate that to a URL using the same format (and various permutations) as with the other files, and then try Right-Click > Save Target As:
http://www.joomlatutorialv
Hmmm. It doesn't find it in this case, but it is worth bearing in mind that where content loads as an *.flv (Flash Video) file (as with YouTube and many other sites), you have free FLV Players out there that can offer you a lot more control during playback than with a *.swf file.
OK, so copy out your Temporary Internet Files to one folder and rename them to remove the [1] in each file name:
joom_tut_1_v2.htm
joom_tut_1_V2.swf
joom_tut_1_V2_config.xml
joom_tut_1_V2_controller.s
joom_tut_1_V2_preload.swf
joom_tut_1_V2_nofp_bg.gif
Open the *.htm file and the video SHOULD load with the controls and play from the locally saved files. The reason for this is that the HTML code and the *.xml file only specify "relative" paths to the component files, and not fully qualified or partial URLs. This will not always be the case on other apparently similar sites though.
OK, so do you want the easiest way by far to get all the files that make up each of their tutorials? No messing around with Temporary Internet Files?
This site runs from an Apache Server, and as such will have a nice neat "Index" page. Take your original URL:
http://www.joomlatutorialv
Backspace to this:
http://www.joomlatutorialv
and click the "Go" arrow, and you will have all the links to Right-Click > Save Target As.
Click the "Parent Directory" link at the top, and you will links to ALL the related Tutorials. With each one that opens, go to the address bar and delete the last part of the URL back to the / and you will have the web server's Index page for that tutorial.
Copy the links and the heading for each one in turn, Paste one below the other in Microsoft Frontpage, Word, any web page editor, or even Outlook Express, and you will have a web page with all the links. You can now start doing your Right-Click > Save Target As, and create a new folder for each set of tutorial files.
What would I do in your situation?
