Any digital video "geeks" out there?
Please see this page, which has an embedded video on it.

http://www.wesh.com/news/5542983/detail.html

Is there any way to extract the video and convert it to an MPG, WVM, or MOV file? If anyone has the ability to do this please let me know!!

(on the video, Leon County Director of Elections says the 2004 election was probably hacked!)

I want to save a local copy of this video and put it on the free CD-ROM.

thanks
gary

2. thanks, but I can't download it
I tried making a web page with a link to it, so I could right click and save the file. as an mms link I get an error, can't download. I changed it to http, and when I try to save the file I get a .WVX file which is tiny, and not the actual WMV file. any thing I can try to get the real wmv file?

thanks

3. Heh, I use that method too
The video is on a streaming server and can't be downloaded. You can sometimes catch it in your cache though.

5. It can be downloaded ...

You just have to use software that doesn't play nice with the "do not download this" flags. ;-)
