Nowadays, the SWF technology is used by more and more websites to display online videos. That's because this format has many more benefits than regular movie files, for example, AVI. They have a good quality, while requiring little bandwidth and are supported by more and more devices. But in order to play these formats on your computer or on various devices, you will first need to download them to your computer. Unfortunately, most video sharing websites that use the SWF technology don't allow downloading videos to the hard disk. Still, there are certain Windows applications which allow this. One of them is Sothink SWF Catcher.

This simple Windows program can analyze the browser cache and accessed websites and can automatically download all found SWF files, no matter the website that contains them. Installing this application takes very little time, as a few clicks are all that takes to get the program installed. After running the application, the user will be presented with a simple and graphical interface.

Using the graphical toolbar, the user can access several capturing modes, either by analyzing the web browser cache, by extracting SWF files from EXE or by capturing SWF files from active processes. Sothink SWF Catcher is virtually compatible with any website that uses the SWF technology to display online videos.

After detecting the SWF files, the program will be able to save them to the hard disk in their original format. Besides that, all found SWF files can be previewed directly in the program's interface.

Pros

It can download SWF files from virtually any website. Besides that, it offers several modes of capturing SWF files, either by analyzing the web browser's cache, by extracting SWF from EXE files or by analyzing running processes. Furthermore, found SWF files can be previewed directly in the program's interface.

Cons

The demo version includes some limitations. Sothink SWF Catcher allows you to capture and save SWF files from virtually any website, using several methods.
