I trust you have written permission from the copyright holder to make copies?

Using Firefox... Get the Extension called 'Unplug' works a treat!...

You might need a standalone Flash Player like 'FLVPlayer' and 'Swiff Player'...

All this stuff is free...

right, managed to work out how to save the files, when in flv format i'm playing them back in total video player, e.g. a youtube saved flash vid

BUT...
still cant get the exercises to playback, downloading them as flv files but no playback, coul someone please take a look at the link AND try to play it back once saved

even when i try to open the saved file to convert it to mpeg or something it crashes the program??link;-
