Greasemonkeying Reuters Video
I got a ton of responses when I posted a couple Greasemonkey scripts to download videos from Google Video and YouTube a while back... mostly because the blog entry made it to the front page of Digg.com. Since then I've gotten tons of requests to make scripts to download videos from all sorts of different sites.... Here's another to download videos from Reuters:
As usual, this is a Greasemonkey script, so you'll need Firefox with the Greasemonkey extension installed. Then you can simply right-click the above link and choose, "install user script".
Once installed, this script will place a download link at the top of any page of http://today.reuters.com/tv/. You can right-click the link to save the Flash video (FLV) file to your computer. You can then play the video with an FLV player like this one. Or you could transcode the video to another format to edit or take with you on a portable device using something like this.
See the screenshot below to see what this script does:

I'm not sure if you are in the business of writing grease-scripts for downloading flv's at the request of random visitors... but if you are - TONNES OF PEOPLE would love to download the flv's on http://espn.go.com/
Would really appreciate any wisdom on your end!
