If it's google video or youtube, it's a flash video. You can try using the firefox add on called "ook". It works for other formats and websites. If that does not work, you can often find the link in the source code of the page. :-) Once you have in your hard disk, it will require recompression and reformating. Mencoder has a page about it in their documentation, and then you will have to build DVD files using dvdauthor. Once you've done that, you will have to burn it. Be careful, the files have to be in their correct places and the file names all UPPER CASE. The DVD itself must be UDF. It was encoded with the demo version of DiVX codec, you can't remove the watermark. BTW ook did not get it from the web page, but there was a link to google video. If it's called "The secret" starts out with some sheila talking about having being given a great secret (with Hebrew subtitles), ook got it from the google video link. The google version is missing the DiVX watermark and is 257 mb. It's coming down at 20k a second, the chance of my actualy downloading it is pretty small. If it's not what you want email me so I can cancel the download. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
