OK, another secret revealed.

I use Firefox coz it's reliable and you can get plugins easily.

Then you load a plug in called Ook

You can then lift the videos however, they will be a .fla file which you have to convert to wmv etc.

Video removed.

Hey, I just tried a KeepVid: Download videos from Google, Youtube, iFilm, Putfile, Metacafe, DailyMotion! to capture. Can enter the URL right at their page.

Just enter it into the green field, click, and look for the "Download" text link that shows up beneath.

Saves to desktop, then just needs to be renamed with a .flv at the end.

Then I found a converter to WMV under the name Freez

Later, I can import to movie maker and edit lag time out.

So why was the guy up the pole thrown around like a rag doll? stubs and/or crap groundsman is my guess, a tad too big a section maybe?
