Downloading Video Clips from the Internet

One of my favourite shows was cancelled and I want to download the episodes that exist before they disappear, but my RealPlayer says it can't download the videos. If you can play it on your computer, there should be a way to copy the files. Do any of the computer techs here know how? Is it my lousy program, or does that message mean I'm not supposed to be able to download the videos at all?

Windows Media Player didn't work, so I'll give your other suggestions a try! Thanks - I need to learn more about computers than how to surf the Net, post on MR, and shop. What is the best way to become more technically skilled on programs, hardware, etc. without risking crashing my system or getting inundated with viruses? Any websites or books you recommend?

Honey, if you look half as good as that avatar of yours, you don't need to learn anything. Trust me on this. :)

:lol: I don't know about that, but I take comfort in the fact that my 20th high school reunion is this summer and at least I look better now than I did when I was a teenager. (And at nearly 38, I still get mistaken for being in my mid-twenties). :wink:
