When I right click then select FlashGot Media on YouTube I usually see several files. Unfortunately, I cannot determine which one is the file for the video that is playing, so I end up downloading all of them, one at a time, then deleting all except the one that I want. So, my question is, how can I determine which file is the correct one to download, i.e., the file for the video that is playing?

Here is an example URL: http://www.youtube.com/user/SeanGGodley ... lozwotLK6w

FlashGot shows three files, 17MB, 10 MB and 5MB. So which one is the correct one to download? Also, is there a way to d/l just the correct one?

Note that I am using FF 4.0, Windows 7, and Free Download Manager.

Thanks for any assistance.

FlashGot lists any media file it can see requested while sniffing Firefox's network traffic.
Since whenever you scrub a video in a location which has not been prefetched yet, a new requests is made by the browser and FlashGot lists a new item.
The easiest way to choose the right entry is choosing the largest one, which most likely refers to the whole file.

I've run into this problem myself...

As the size of the main video display area is usually larger than the other videos, is there no way of linking the video URL with the larger display area and only displaying that one ?

If so, can you add an option to enable this behaviour ?

URLs where this happens?
