The BBC website is a news website based out of the United Kingdom. The BBC website uses Flash-based videos to provide you with news clips and other video stories. If you want to save a video from the BBC website, you'll have to use a web service that has the ability to recognize Flash web videos and save them to your computer's hard drive.
