Can also be saved into your computer to be viewed later.

How can you save the entire video? I tried doing that and only got a 1 or 2 kbyte '.gvp' file to download. That appears to be some sort of a link file, not the actual content.

I'd love to be able to put it on DVD for friends who only have dial-up internet.

On the right side of the page, there's a download for Google Player, then it downloads the movie.

At least it did for me.

You can, but it is not free. I downloaded with this product.

http://www.wmrecorder.com/

which also works with other internet streams, live or not. I use it to capture talk radio, cspan video, etc.

You-Tube, etc comes over as a "flash video" file "*.flv" which requires a separate, but free, viewer:

So would I. I have not had much luck converting flv files to more standard formats such as mpeg for dvds. It should be possible, but I have yet to have acceptable results.

Try downloading for Ipod/PS2. This gives you a mp4 file. Worked for me.
