My college provides a membership to it's website, where I can watch few of the selected lectures. I want to record them for later offline viewing but I dont know whether they allow this or not. So is there any software that can record these videos without letting my college officials know that the video is being recorded/downloaded??
How to record the video from a webpage discreetly?
I tried FRAPS but it only works with games and videos that are being played offline. It does not detect any video that is being played in a webpage !! Any other software which can do this??

Search for the video's URL in the source code of the webpage. There are tools available to download the video once you know its address.
Example: the URl maybe something like mms://sitename.com/video.wmv . simply use some software to download the video.
AFAIk this would be discrete, they won't know if you are downloading or watching the video.

not all links are wmv formats and all browsers do not support that. most common format is the flash (.flv) format which is in form of embedded object. HTML does not recognise any video format or audio. it must be in object format

open IE after installing IDM. right click on the page, while watching video (if download with IDM doesn't appear above the video itself), select download FLV content with IDm.. and done.

I think download helper addon for firefox will do the trick. And don't worry, they'll never find out that you have downloaded the video.

well I use firefox and search the plugin download helper (I have included picture) and go on or if you wish to use some download manager along with video down loader which even provides speed go for download accelerator plus. Its totally free (picture included) works with even internet explorer though in some places It doesn't works but they are minimal.Though there is no such trouble with the download helper.

Sorry for the late reply guys but I was trying to get it to work but failed
One more thing to add, the website only allows IE 7 or 8...no firefox or chrome
And in IE 7 both Flashget & IDM failed to download the video (even tried download all flv content with IDM option but it says no video content found) Any other option left??
yes IDM works perfectly well with all other sites.
