Has anyone been able to capture/download BookTV videos under linux? They
seem to go to great lengths to hide and/or obfuscate the url so I can't
find one to give to mplayer. Actually, I can't even watch them. The page
has some CDATA with 'ActiveX' in it so maybe they require MS.

I've been able to start downloading them by copying the link and
then pasting them as wget parameters.
But it always fails part-way thru with some weird error.
