[WEB4LIB] Downloading video clips from the web

[Thomas Bennett]

I haven't used this myself and it is not free except for the demo (30
days?) and demo limitations is 2 minute max. 

There is wmrecorder for Windows Media files and rmrecorder from real
media files.  $29.95 usd each or bundled for $49.95 usd.

http://www.wmrecorder.com/


There are probably screen recorders that would work also but I'm not
sure about quality with those.

She needs to use a couple of his commercials in her thesis (which is being done in video format).  She wrote to them and received permission to use the commercials--in fact, they said that she and anyone else was free to download and use anything that was there.
