help with downloading a video on to computer

Did any of you see the elf yourself web-site that was around at christmas? where you put your head on to a dancing elf. Do any of you know how i can download something like this to use for a presentation. The sites i know of like jibjab only allow you to send an ecard and not download a Sendable video to your computer.

I believe software like fraps do that - though I remember trying it a while ago and having quite a few jumps in the outputted video.

EDIT: sorry, I thought you meant that Elf site specifically. I'm not sure what sites there are which offer a similar service to it

it was a great site! I've had the same idea in the past and wish I'd done it myself.

You can use free software that records what is on your screen to an avi file which can be opened by most media software. On a PC you could use something like this - http://camstudio.org/

watch copyrights though!
