What type of video file is it? To save quicktime you need to have a registered version of the product.

if it's hidden in a bunch of frames etc etc, it can be difficult to download it. thats why i asked for the URL, besides movies inside flash videos, i havent found anything i cant download..

If it's Quicktime, a copy should be automatically saved into your disk cache unless you've turned that feature off. If it's streaming, you won't be able to save anything except the meta reference without some serious trickhackery that I'm too out of date on to comment about.

But what I really don't understand is that you say it's not in the source code. Of course it is.
