Thx in advance > > matthias Not exactly what you're looking for but there is a video downloader extension for firefox that works with video.google amongst others: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006 I suppose by reverse engineering the video downloader extension you could probably come up with a perl/python script to use from the command line. AFAIK nobodys done this. -- Frank Contact info: http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/misc/contact.html
