Having trouble saving CBSNews video...
#4
PeterB:

First remove my asterisks.

I could open this in Quicktime 7: File -> Open URL... :

http:/*/mediasd.cbsnews.com/media/2010/01/26/es_ashton_126_1000.mp4

I have QT Pro but I couldn't save the actual movie, only a reference movie.

You can play a .flv file saved to your hard drive using VLC by first copying this URL in Safari's address bar:

http:/*/mediasd.cbsnews.com/media/2010/01/26/es_ashton_126_418.flv

hit Return, then it should open as text in a Safari window, give it time to download in the Safari window because the video is 6.7 MBs, then File -> Save. Don't allow Safari to add the .txt suffix when asked. (Kudos to Winston.) It should have a .flv suffix when saved. Play that file with VLC.

BTW, I went to the page you referenced, then I grabbed the above URL's from Safari -> Window -> Activity, then selecting all and copying the contents to TextEdit where I could more easily get the URL's.
