Does anybody know how, if possible, to rip a video from a link? If I even said that right. I want to download a video but the link won't let me. Is it possible? Thanks.

Here's what you do. It works with pretty much any Quicktime or Windows Media embed.
Open Firefox. If you dont have it, get it.
Go to the page.
Go to Tools>Page Info
Click on the that that says "Media."
Scroll down on the list until you find a file that has the type "Embed"
Select it, and click "Save As..."
Then you have it!
Sometimes there is more than one embed, so choose the one with the video filename ending.

Hang on, what I just said won't work for that one. I thought you were talking about something else. Sorry!

It says "Dowload could not complete" before it even attempts to start.
