For those of you that have been asking about the ability to download these files and save them on your computer, it can be done. However, it requires some tools. There are a few different ways to do it, but here is what works for me.

First, this is for Firefox only. you will need to install this Add-On, Download Helper

After you have installed this extension and restarted Firefox, you will see a new icon next to your address bar. As for now, you will noticed that the icon is grayed out.

When you are on the page where you want to download the video from, click on the icon that will start the clip. You will notice that the Download Helper icon is now in color and animated.


Click on the down-arrow next to the icon. You will then see a long, complicated address. Click on that and it will open up a save file dialog. Choose your location, name the file something meaningful, and start your download.


Now, once you have downloaded the file, you need to play it. If your system can't play or recognize the file, you will need to install something that can handle it. I would recommend the VLC media player. It handles most formats and is free.
