Saving Streaming Video
Youtube.com, Google and some of the other more popular streaming sites have gone to using a lot of .flv video. It is a flash based video compression mechanism that is pretty light, starts streaming very quickly, and works across platforms with little effort. Anyway, the problem is if you want to save a video, it can be a bit of a pain. But there is a cool little Firefox extension available from videodownloader.net that does it for you.
