If you have a VCR, that might be the easiest. You can also use Tivo or a TV tuner card (and save the video to your PC). Do you have access to any of these?

Of course, a smarter FReeper may come up with a better option.

Try YouTube in the coming days and weeks. You can always purchase a copy at the ABC website, I'm sure. On the other hand, saving the video to your hard drive may be impossible, since ABC only streams, I believe.

Try asking them for a copy, I'm sure they'd burn you one.

Oops...looks like you want to capture the video from the ABC website. Your posting was not clear on this. There are several applications that allow you to do this. Do you have a link to the site?

Have you looked in your temporary internet files? Most everything you look at will be in there. Just move it to documents to save it.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Unfortunately, my sister wasn't expecting to see anything special on the news, so she didn't have her VCR turned on. By the time she saw the clip, it was too late. I am looking for a way to capture the segment from the streaming video from the website. I am able to watch it, but the save option is not available. I sent an email to the link on the ABC video site, but I am not real hopeful of getting a response. I also checked the ABC store for a video of the newscast, but couldn't find it.

It's a flash file it wi;; be stored in your temp internet cache as an flv file.

Click IE browser tools
Internet Options
General Tab --- Browsing History
---go to the Temp Internet Files and browsing history
---view files button
---select file view detailed, you want to see file extensions size etc
---hit the size tab twice, that should bring up the largest files first
---scroll down until you locate the abce site and see an flv file
------if you have several you might as well select all the ABC site files
------highlight the files and copy, then paste to you video folder, maybe make a new folder named wreath.

This wmight save the files if they are still in your cache. If not try to view the ABC site again and paly the video.

Next post will be an flv viewer/converter once I locate the url

I've also sent an email to the reporter, John Donvan, but haven't received a reply.
