Well thats one of the things with streaming video, many sites don't allow you to actually save the video but just play it again and again.

i've just had a quick look at the rm files, it seems you can just download them with a d/l manager (FlashGet, GetRight etc) without any problems, that is assuming your referring to the ones on the Guitar Lessons Page.

Personally I recommend Download Mage. with no spyware and completely free. I know you can copy the shortcut of any file and paste it into the download manager direct.

There are tools to get streaming media to save too.

If you open the .rm file in Notepad you will find that there is a web address in there with the path to the actual video file. Stick that in a download manager and you may well be able to download it
