Ever wanted to download your favorite movie from hulu to watch later? I did some digging recently and here is a step-by-step guide.
Step 1: The best free software I found for downloading from Hulu is streamtransport. Download it from streamtransport.com and install (Windows 7, Vista or XP)
Step 2: Run the program and click "Visit Hulu" button in the top right corner. The top part of the software is essentially a web-browser that will display Hulu main page. Click to play your favorite show or movie.
Step 3: In the bottom part you will see a link appear with the name of the show (e.g. Hulu - Dancing With The Stars Week 3 Results - Watch the full episode now. Select it and click "Download" button.
That's it! In a few minutes you will have a .flv file. You can play it with many free players, for example a free VLC player
As a bonus, the video will be stripped of all the commercial, so you can consider it a way to remove commercials from Hulu too!
Stay tuned to this page to find out about new free online streaming software as it becomes available!

The Battle Is On: Skip or Block Hulu Commercials
On the wings of the new rumors that Hulu may extend the length of their commercials to the size of their cable counterparts (that's 5 minute commercial breaks!) I did some digging.
Turns out there is a free app that lets you download Hulu shows as FLV files. It is called StreamTransport and features a split screen with a full functional browser on top and the download button at the bottom. Just navigate to the show you would like to watch and click download.
Now you have a file on your hard drive and whenever there is a commercial you can fast forward through it. Plus it is good of you internet connection is flaky or if Hulu's server is overloaded and slow.
Give it a shot!

Best Places to Stream and Download Movies for Free
Recently a number of free streaming sites have emerged offering streaming in high quality DivX format. You can either play them inside your browser window by installing a free plugin or in their standalone player.
Two sites I have been downloading or streaming movies from recently are divxfest.com and divxthatmovie.com, but you can always find many more free DivX streaming sites at ovguide.com or by revisiting Free Stream Online
The best part is that DivX files can be later saved to a folder of your choosing. Even if you don't choose to save the file explicitly, the player plugin saves a copy for you once the buffering of the entire movie stream is finished, so that when you later open your browser the movie will play from your hard drive.
