Capturing Streaming Video

Not Internet Explorer

If you use the Firefox Web browser, there is a useful extension called Video Downloader: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2390 which will let you download streaming video from YouTube and a select list of other sites.

The video clips will download in .flv format, but there are freeware converters out there that will change it to .avi or .mpg, such as http://www.snapfiles.com/get/internetvideoconverter.html

Splicing other clips into your own video projects could lead to some interesting results!
