As in title, I need help with downloading the video from pbs.

http://video.pbs.org/video/2365157748/

Is it any possibility to do it? VDH catches millions of small files

http://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/screenshooter-legacy/jk-swleyuswwqegcvkqeobx.jpg

(1MB), is there any chance to download it as one file? Maybe I can find a script somewhere??

Thanks for any help.

I tried but it won't write the file instead of play ...

I got the message: error: Failed to open output: file.mp4 ([Errno 13] Permission denied: 'file.mp4')

edit: I finally downloaded the video using ffmpeg, but if you can tell me why I had this error I'll be thankful.

boo! pbs removed (or renamed) the direct http mp4 links!!!

time to check what they're doing on the ipad...
