Anyone know how to grab a cnn video to play locally?

This is the target

We would like to share it with our associates across the country. As an enterprise we block steaming video due to bandwidth concerns.

Is there a way to save these locally? I tried a few programs, but it's not saving the actual video...just a file containing links that need to reach out to stream.

Thanks

Might be able to adapt this, providing it's legal for you to download the video.

I have that program. The file it finds is a wmx file. That file is just a pointer to aol which streams it.

Was able to do it with NetTransport.

In the 'saved file' from URL Snooper there was a http://mms: URL.

Using this URL got me the video.

Thanks

It's trival with Flip4Mac, but the container becomes QuickTime.
