Try these - no software, just add the clip url and enter, then 'save as'

The "burning to DVD" part is a separate step since you'll be downloading a flash video. You need to somehow convert it to a DVD player movie type format. Unless you were just referring to burning a video file as a data file for playback on another computer.

Flash programs here.

There is Flash Saving Plugin and SWF Opener that is nice having to view the flash you save and it lets you see them full screen too. Plus you can have your flash plugin disabled like I do when online and still watch the flash you saved on your computer using SWF Opener.

The links I posted often allow flash video to be saved as avi files, so it is a simple step to convert to DVD.

I got in a email http://www.youtube.com/v/RB-wUgnyGv0OR and I be darn if I can find a way to save it. All I can do at most is save the flash shortcut.

The link is down right now too but was ok. The monkeys are working on it.
