Click on the link "Exclusive: See Hilarious 'Earl' Outtake"

How can I download that video?

These companies cannot stop you from downloading the video, but they sure as hell can bury the information you need to find it. I've looked at source and just cannot see the video file location.

I just clicked on the link and it opened a popup asking what type of connection I had. I selected, and it propmpted me to install a plugin (I use firefox). I stopped there because I didn't trust AOL not to put shit on my machine.

Tried it with IE this time and got the same result. It plays quite happily.

Do you have a popup blocker or IE6 blocking things ?

anyway --- sart video and then with firefox right click on page and view page properties and go to the link and/or media tab to get link ...

Make the page available offline.
When you open it, you should be able to save the video.

I can see this wmv file so I guess the name of the file is earl_outtake_092705.wmv but I can't see what the prefix would be before the /aol/us part as I tried the obvious ones

I have seen some though

Item0 = { wmsid: "/aol/us/aolentertainment/bumpers/content_warning;sbr:700,460,320,120,28.wmv", sText: ["","","Mature Content: Viewer Discretion Is Advised","Next: 'My Name is Earl' Exclusive Outtake"], cpid: "pmmsid:1374170", assetInfo: { franchise: "TV: General", surfacePoint: "us.aol.tv.my_name_is_earl_tv_my_name_is_earl_ tv", playlistGroup: "" } } Item1 = { wmsid: "/aol/us/aolentertainment/tv/2003/nbc/partner/earl_outtake_092705;sbr:700,460,120,28.wmv", sText: ["","NBC","\'My Name is Earl\' Exclusive Outtake"], cpid: "pmmsid:1410836", assetInfo: { franchise: "TV: General", genre: "Television - Comedy", surfacePoint: "us.aol.tv.my_name_is_earl_tv_my_name_is_earl_ tv", playlistGroup: "" } } PlayList = { items: [Item0, Item1], loop: true }

getting closer as the source code is easier to understand The domain is supposedly aol.com but that doesn't work though

I have a proxy server handy, so I just monitored the logs as I was connecting to the url.

[MackemX]

if you save target that link its a wvx playlist file

[liquid217]

at this point, you will probably need some type of stream ripper, such as the 'asf recorder' or something similar

[MackemX]

I just assumed that being a wmv file you'd be able to grab it without using stream rippers somehow

[MackemX]

I just saw these within Firefox that show the asf extension (same link as above)
