We all love cool rich media website ads, right? Not just Flash, but
the real intrusive ones that expand and take over pages using
PointRoll, EyeBlaster, KlipMart, Unicast, and other rich media technologies.
Many stream video footage and some play music too.

I need to download and save these ad units so they can be used in a
thesis project. When the ads are done in Flash, I can grab them from
my Explorer or Firefox cache -- no problem. However, this does not
work for these next generation ads.

So: I need concise and repeatable instructions to save these ad units
so they can be reconstructed and played again "as is". Ideally, your
instructions will work in Firefox although I'm open to either
freeware, shareware, or paid software (as necessary).

If the solution is different for various ad formats, my bias will be
towards the most complete solution. That said, PointRoll is the most
important to me since it seems most prevalent.

Id say most of them are in flash, so look in the page source and find
the flash file location (search for swf), and open it, then save the
page as a flash file and use that

Please provide a few sample sites that you'd like to scrape the
content from and I'll see what I can do.
