There's a beta version for Mac OS X, but I haven't had much luck swiping Flash videos with it. I assume other Flash video download widgets will work as well...

There is a sort of "ident" video on a book item on its Amazon page that I am in, and I'd quite like to download the video for my own selfish indulgence :-) Any help/advise gladly recieved! Cheers Simon Hi,

A heavy handed moderator shut his conversation down, though. No surprises there, in fact that's how this site started after repeatedly having my posts deleted and seeing interesting threads locked.

And, dude, you're butchering my new theme! ;) I'll put that next on my list for mods - limit letters per line to X or something.
