Morning Jimi, Those video clips are very small (10-20 seconds) in wmv (windows media player) and flash format. So, even if copied to cd or DVD they won't be playable I don't think..
It sounds like you're pretty serious about trying it out. Therefore I suggest you purchase the John and Amy Hazel 'Introduction to Spey casting' instructional DVD. Search spey in ebay and you should see one or two for sale. Brand new for $24US. It's an excellent instructional video for over an hour. Explains every cast and goes over detailed mechanics. As far as finishing and staring a cast, yes when the drift is finished you simply lift the rod up and initiate a cast. With the long rod you can pick up the whole line usually. That's a huge advantage of spey casting as you don't have to strip. Having said that some people do shoot line when the rivers are large (>60ft) and they're using short belly lines. Short meaning the head is 45-50 feet (lines are a whole discussion topic). They then strip in to the beginning of the head and cast again. Long belly lines (heads are 80 ft) don't require this but are harder to cast.
