Instead of left clicking on the video link to play it, try right clicking
on the link, and selecting, "save as". Then download it, and save it
directly to your hard drive. This will work unless the author has set up
the link to stream only, and has disallowed it to be saved.

If that is the case, you can still capture it by using third party
software, which will capture what you see, and hear, regardless of the
format. I know of now shareware, or freeware,that will do this, but there
are a number of retail programs that offer this.
