Thanks Paul!
   The Porsche website has many videos but they are in Macromedia Flash 
Player format - with a file extension of .swf and a few with .flv.  I have 
the Adobe video players needed for these file but I suspect I need an 
additional converter program to save them for play later - or preferably to 
save them to a CD/DVD for play.   Any idea if keepvid.com is capable of 
opening and playing .swf files?  BTW, the only way I can download them is to 
locate them in the "Temporary Internet FIles" folder and copy it to my 
Videos folder.  They seem to try to make very difficult to keep copies of 
their files handy.

   It sounds like your suggestion is just the ticket for the .flv files. 
Thanks for the suggestions.
