You can try searching for the video on youtube and grabbing it from there. http://www.keepvid.com will rip it off youtube.

Thanks for your comments. I experimented a bit and first of all I will say the video streamed just fine today (whew). The streaming service will only buffer approx 30 ahead and then it stops. It didn't allow me to buffer the full video ahead of time. After playing it through and then restarting the video actually unloaded and refreshed the loading process. I'm curious about the copyright side of thing too as the video was one member sharing an experience with some background music. Maybe the church just hasn't had time to provide download links through all the pages yet or doesn't think anyone would need/want to download certain things. I'm sure in a year this will all be old conversation and things will be much different.

I am trying to download the testimony of the previous relief society presidents (https://www.lds.org/callings/relief-soc ... h?lang=eng) but when I right click the video it does not give me any options to download it, even though it says to 'right click to download'. I just get info on Brightcove Platform. Any suggestions or help? I have tried to use an add-on converter on Firefox but it doesn't recognize it on this page. I can't find the video elsewhere (youtube, etc).

Looks like the link for the first one is defected. But the second one should work. Note that you don't right-click on the video itself, but the link just below.

Is the "Search for Truth" video part of the "zip" file for April? There are instructions here about how to get the zip files.
