Download From Hulu: A Definitive Guide

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!
