I have a video on the Carolina Hurricanes Website that I need to try and save for later viewing. If anyone knows how I can do it please let me know.

I am not able to right click and "save target as"

If I understand, you want to download a video from a website. If you cannot directly download the file, try video download software (one good one: NCH software offers a free capture program), here: Online Video Download Software - Download, convert and archive online video (http://www.nchsoftware.com/streamvcr/index.html)
which might do the trick for you. / Battle Vaughan / miamiherald.com video team

if all else fails, try nchsoftware.com and download flashlynx program. / bvaughan

The latest version of Realplayer - www.real.com - has a Flash download function, at least on the Windows version. It provides a right-click menu as well as a floaty toolbar, and seems to work very reliably. I've found it much nicer to use than a lot of the dedicated utilities.

It will also associate Flash videos with Realplayer for playback.

This is the only reason I (re)started using Real Player, othewise it's a very annoying piece of software.

Please note: it will not save video flagged for copy protection.
