So what are you using to "download" the video from sites like Metacafe,
YouTube, Google Video, etc., etc. that do not have a "download this
video" button? I want to save the video to a file, like .flv or
whatever. Yes, I can stream the video just fine in Firefox, but that's
only if I'm online. I'd like to take some videos with me, so I can view
them, for example, in a portable media player that cannot attain an
Internet connection.
