I just tried this procedure in ubuntu with vlc, Don, and the save process is

It didn't ask where to save, just saved automatically in the hidden folder
/home/username/.local/share --but I snapped enough shots that I finally was
able to read the momentarily-visible save path!
I'm assuming the tutorial was for Windows, so you should have no trouble if
running Windows.
