I have no idea if this is the right newsgroup for this but I want to save
AOL videos to my hard disk and play them offline.

Is there some free software out there that will do this?

I have tried 'Keepvid' and it works on some but not on AOL videos that come up
under 'google video'.

A real example of what i am looking to save is at
http://video.google.com/url?docid=-6460063798825376816&esrc=sr5&ev=v&len=2624&q=%22babylon%2B5%22%2Bduration%3Along&srcurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.aol.com%2Fvideo%2Ftv-babylon-5-war-without-end-part-1%2F1899656&vidurl=%2Fvideoplay%3Fdocid%3D-6460063798825376816%26q%3D%2522babylon%2B5%2522%2B duration%253Along%26total%3D164%26start%3D0%26num% 3D10%26so%3D0%26type%3Dsearch%26plindex%3D4&usg=AL29H22VcasRV4OE0Idbav_Zh4lwRuWv6A

or http://tinyurl.com/yv52gq (same thing)

The AOL 'settings' shows, but will not allow me to change, input speed. My DSL
could probably make it on 'high' but not the default which is 'highest'.

I am not an AOL user, which may be necessary to alter defaults.....

Any help?
