Need help ripping a streaming video

Actual News Piece

THis is our simulator at work.  We had a news crew out doing a report on how easy it was to get a commercial drivers license and they wanted to see our simulator.

I've got a copy of the vid on vhs tape from the studio but they won't provide a digital copy.

If anyone could rip this from the news site I would be most grateful.

Get VLC. It can rip streams.

Edit: I tried to rip it, but the server was not responding.

It works fine, you just have to fiddle with the URL. Don't worry, I'll have it done in a minute.
