google video, youtube, and many other sites are using flash for their streaming video these days (as well as the south park site ;)) but as a result, you cant save them, nor can you view them full screen (some atleast). anyway, figured I’d share this with those that didnt know about it yet. Download a plugin for firefox called videodownloader and call it a day 🙂 [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/) enjoy ---

Nifty, can’t imagine that being up too long as it would violate a lot of websites TOS. ---

[http://www.videodl.org/](http://www.videodl.org/) Try that site, nothing to install, just paste in the link to the video, and it gives you a “save as” link to download from. I’m downloading the “Sabres Relentless 2006” video right now. This only works for YouTube, GoogleVideo, and [Break.com](http://Break.com) ---
