Okay so here is the update on yahoo’s flash video .flv. After doing some poking around I learned that they use something called RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol). So I was looking deep and I just could not yet find a way to download the videos in .flv.

Here are my notes I took down while I was poking through all that shit it also includes the files I looked at. View My Notes
Oh yeah and here is the video I was watching while I was trying to figure all this stuff out.

So I was over at music.yahoo.com and I was browsing the site so I search for Acceptance, a band I like, and I clicked on the video to try and watch it to see what would happen. I was surprise to find out that now mac users can watch music videos over at yahoo. Since they show them to you “Youtube Style” in other words in flash video. I then checked the uk.launch.yahoo.com & ca.music.yahoo.com and it seems yahoo has not yet change things on those sites. So if yahoo changes to all flash video does that mean phpLYFOX & LyFOX are doomed? Now maybe there is a way to download those flash videos from yahoo and transcode them into .mp4.
