Which browser are you using. There are quite a few add-ons for firefox that will most probably download it for you.

If you use Firefox as your browser you could try the Video DownloadHelper add-on.

Have you installed the video download helper to firefox?
It will install a symbol in the navigation tool bar next to the home button. It is 3 grey coloured balls. When you go to the web page where your video, is the symbol will start turning round and the balls will become coloured. You then click on the balls to download.
If you cannot view the video, at all in firefox you need to make sure you have all the correct plugins installed.
