are you talking videos from NS and what not? or videos from DVD?

well from ns you want to right click (control click) and save to desktop...

from DVD get a program called Handbrake

You should be able to download absolutely fine, just ctrl click then download the linked file. You may not be able to play it through Quicktime though, so try downloading DivX

Is that the problem?
