Then you can download that with wget or something. Sometimes websites do their best to obscure the actual video link behind javascript and all sorts of balony, so that you can't do this - but I doubt this is the case here. You probably don't want to give away the site, but if you get stuck post some of the source that you think might be relevant, and we can go from there.
