Hi, I'm new here so please be nice.

I've got to do a powerpoint presentation for uni and I want to put a bit of a VIDEO in it. This is the video I'm trying to download -

I've looked elsewhere on the web and it's not on youtube or anything that works with vixy or similar. ALSO tried downloading programs for capturing and converting flash/swf files to avi but they didn't WORK either and now I don't know what else to try.

Can anyone help please? My brain is exploding! If you use Firefox, get an add-on Video DownloadHelper:

I just tried it at your LINK, and it downloaded that video without a problem.
You need standalone Flash player to play it.
I use free Wimpy Desktop FLV Player: http://www.wimpyplayer.com/products/wimpy_standalone_flv_player.htmlSorry, should have said. I'm on IE. Never used Firefox before.

Is it possible to download it in IE?I don't use IE, so I won't know.
Try Firefox, you may like it.It worked! Thank you so much!! I told you...LOL
Now, since Christmas is coming, wrap up your IE into nice gift box, and send it to your worst enemy...HEHEHE
