Trying to save a Sky News flash video to my hard drive - can anyone help?

Hi all

I'm trying to save a video to my hard drive. The video in question is this one:

http://news.sky.com/skynews/video/f...skynews/latest/flash/ofsted_secker_p15575.flv.

Does anyone know how I can retain this file? I've tried a couple of free YouTube flash video extractors but the resulting file is always just blank. Ideally I'd want it in AVI or WMV format.

If anyone can help either by doing it and hosting it or suggesting how it might be done, I'd be very grateful!

"Error: Sorry, servers are too buzy. Please try again later."

Edit: hmm then it got further but said "Error: URL resolve error. (YouTube.com is down??)".

Thanks though, I'll keep trying that. Any others in the meantime if I can't get that working?

Right click save as. Your url had this in, but it was a page that redirected to this link.
Then play using FLVplayer
