If all this is too technical for ya, quick and dirty ways are to try making
a screenrecording of the playing video... either:

   - with screen recording software like Camstudio (free to windows only)
   - by sending the signal to a camera through a computer's SVideo line
   - or just by recording the screen with a camera on a tripod


I did say quick and dirty.
