Viddler and Downloading Streaming Video

Videos on Viddler actually can be downloaded, as can most anything streaming. You need the latest version of RealPlayer (11.something), and when you mouseover a playing video, you will get a tab above it asking if you want to download the video. It will also work on YouTube and almost anywhere else. A few places (like lectures on GSE's streaming server) won't work...there is a way for them to turn off the downloadable feature, but it isn't generally available.
