I think Mplayer can do that for you. If not, than VLC claims to have File writing capabilities:

Do you use MS? Opposite click on the link for the video, does the resulting menu include "save target as"? That's it, quick save.
All these movies include links to "380k" broad band quicktime movies. Quicktime's player will let you save them. At least the Mac version does and I presume the free Windows Quicktime player will too.
