depending on how it's done, you could just view the source and see if |
| 14 |
there are any links in there to the real video. Then you can download |
| 15 |
that with wget or something. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Sometimes websites do their best to obscure the actual video link behind |
| 18 |
javascript and all sorts of balony, so that you can't do this - but I |
| 19 |
doubt this is the case here. |

You probably don't want to give away the site, but if you get stuck post |
| 22 |
some of the source that you think might be relevant, and we can go from |
| 23 |
there. |
