    Hey

    Basically what i got is a path to a video clip that i wanna download.

    example: "www.anywebsite.com/video.wmv"

    When i got to the link it opens up in windows media player. Is there a way to download this file onto my computer.

    Thanks.

    If you right click on the video on the website and choose properties, you generally get a location url copy and paste that into a download manager :)

    Also, you could just let it play out, then a copy would be in your temp foldier, unless its streaming of course.

    Go to Internet Properties, then go to Settings under Temporary Internet Files, then go to View Files. However, try the above method first, it is easier.
