Ah. getvideo downloads objects parsed from html. I used it to save videos by handing it the url from my browser's location bar, which is faster than looking through ugly html and, in many cases, piecing the url together manually. Handing it a url to the actual video will cause it to parse the file as html, which would result in a lot of grinding. :-) If you already have the video url, wget is the appropriate utility. -- James Oakley [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
