Mark and Paul,

IIRC, I read something lately about using VideoLan (VLC media player),
you can Save the video that you're watching.

I haven't investigated any further about doing it, but when I think
of anything about downloading Movie files, I think of Joe Mackey in
the MemoryLane echo.

He has talked a lot about Watching and Recording Movies to DVD,
and I know if I wanted to know how to do it 'easily' Joe is the man
to take to about it.

One time I was at a web site where I wanted to save what was on their
page(s), but I couldn't, probably because the Webmaster wrote Not To
Allow that.

That was way back when I was using Netscape 2 or 3 with Win 3.1 .
So I went to Netscapes Cookie directory and took a look for some pages
with the extension .JPG that were stored about that time and Copied
them (I maybe had to change the attrib to READ??), but I got to save
what I wanted to save from their web pages.

Thinking about that, I'd suppose those videos would be where FF put its
Cookies, but I can't remember if FF has a CACHE directory like NS did.
(I think the sub-directory was called CACHE)
