You can use the plug in for Firefox called "Download 
Helper" and save the video to your hard drive.  If it's an 
.flv file, you can then use the free "Prism Converter" 
http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html to convert it 
to a .wmv file which is a windows media video file.

A friend of mine just video'd a drum and dance weekend 
festival I attended.
He gave me a link to the videos, but unless I play them at 
a tiny "web
size," the clips keep constantly stopping and interrupting
themselves...? -It's really very annoying, to the point of 
making the videos

unwatchable!!

Is there any way I can improve my streaming video setup so 
I can watch
larger (or perhaps higher def) videos w/o this annoying 
problem?

I'm using WinXP and Win Media Player on an older PC. 
Should I use a better
video player than Win Media, or perhaps could some kind of 
anti-virus
security program be knocking out my vids?

Also, I forgot how to get to the MS software that let's 
you assign suffixes
to different programs... (Like .wmv .jpg, etc....)  -I'm 
thinking maybe I
should use something other than Win Media for .wmv files?

Thanks,
