How to save online movie or video into a computer?

[coody]

Sometime people may not have time to watch the whole movie online. Do you know downloading service to allow save online movie or video into a computer so that people can watch it later in the computer?

There are various add-ons for Firefox that will allow you to capture streaming video from a lot of sites. Check out the add-ons at mozilla.org. If this doesn't work then there are some paid for softwares that claim to do what you want. If you can't find any other method then the last resort is to leave the video playing and use some screen capture software.

Beware that if this is a legit paid for service, sometimes this action would break the terms of service (TOS)

The only thing that works almost 100% reliably is some sort of streaming media recorder like Replay Media Catcher. The free utilities to download the video probably won't work with any movies, but might work with shorter videos as shorter videos may not have DRM. Movies are probably protected with DRM, hence making it necessary to record them in real time for future playback.

Note to coody that if his plan involves doing this to Netflix, there is no way to play these movies later because of DRM. The same is true of Hulu and any service with paid for content.
