 @NickSparkle

 Open the page in question; Click F12; Chose the "Network" tab instead of  "Elements" tab; Reload the page; Put the video you want on play; On the  "Network" tab filter the files by "Size" descending order; The file you are  playing will be at the top of the list; Right-click "Open link in new tab"; "Save page" on the new tab;

@Oscar I also have no idea for how to download the videos on the site you mentioned, since there is no swf file there.

If the videos are removed from the website after you download, will the downloaded version still be able to play?

This option is not available in the AMc version of Chrome. I've tried 3rd party solutions (getFlash, and Flash Video Download) and , but they are not finding the video, while it works on Firefox. Outside of using Firefox when this happens, is there another solution for downloading Flash videos in Chrome?
