Sometimes you see a video online and you want to save it to watch later. It's such a shame that you can't download movies from the likes of MSN Video, YouTube and Google videos, isn't it?

Actually, you can.

This site is simplicity itself. Just find the video you want to download, use the dropdown menu next to the URL box to see which sites Splandoo will work with, and then paste the URL into the box provided.

After clicking Download you'll be offered your usual 'Save' dialogue. You need to change the name of the file to whatever you want to call it with .flv at the end. This will save the file as a Flash movie.

Then you will need a Flash movie player installed on your machine to watch it from your own hard drive instead of via the web. But don't panic - Splandoo even provide a handy link to download a free player.
