There certain bands that create alot of hype arond the release of their new album, and when they
want to get even more publicity
out of it they make a premiere of
their upcoming single and make their Myspace profile the only place where horny teens can actually see the video.

I was gonna download one of those and watermark it,
and I've tried several download managers like for instance
Orbit and VDH, but nada! Whenever I actually think I did it I
get a freakin D channel video of an octopus stumbling around the ocean bottom. So I'm guessin' somehow they managed to make real video link cyphered and when I look at the source code and get the shortest link I can pick out it, again is playable in the browser, and yet when I order the manager to download it........... DEVIL DAMN OCTOPUS!

Hm... or am I missing something here? Anyone had this issue before?

But it IS doable, I'm guessin', since the video has already been uploaded to youtube..

Do you want to download it?

Make a notepad file with this text:

Code:

<a href="LINK TO VIDEO HERE">Video</a>

Save it as a .html file, open it -> Right click the link and select "download as..."

Yup, I wanna download the video.

I have the link in this embend-format

example:

Code:

http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=42228

And when I do what you said.... well......... the freakin octopus
I download it and instead of the actually music video I just get another Discovery Channel swf on my hard.

I'm just wild-guessing it has something to do with this javascript:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">MySpace.Application._raiseDOMloaded();</script>
</body>
</html>
