[ubuntu-za] Lubuntu - is it possible to save video somewhere (as in Jaunty from temp in Files)?

[SHAWN REITSTEIN]

Hi all and thanks for the input. - What I'm trying to find is how to save
any flash video - not only YouTube! I was hoping something like the way it
was possible to look in the temp file and click and drop in video - does
anyone know what I mean?
