You probably need to grab the video itself with something like videodownloader or some other Firefox plugin. That will save it as a .flv probably. Then, once you have the stream saved, you can convert it to a more useful format with ffmpeg. ffmpeg -i /home/user/film.flv -ab 64 -ar 44100 -b 500 -s 480x384 film.mpg You can of course fiddle with the above - you may wish to have a larger resolution for instance, but many flash movies have terrible quality when enlarged. That works for youtube videos, so I should imagine the same would work for Googles version.
