assuming you have mplayer properly installed on your mac os x (Tiger) system,
you can create applescripts to grab movies from the web.
i made one for wmx files that works quite nice.
this little tidbit from ericlager in a comment at macosxhints was helpful: set newFile to POSIX path of (choose file name with prompt "Save movie as:" default name "iTunes Video.mov")

someone reported the same error and then ./configured with –disable-win32
and was able to get past that WINE related error…
then i got an error related to mp3lame
then i found this command:
sudo oprt port -dv install mplayer
via google on the opendarwin list
i had already installed macPorts from the suggestion here:

I created the attached flash file…Calculator
in the future this widget could be expanded to create a dynamic map autoplacing each autosized circle and allowing links and jpg images for each circle… saving the whole shabang as xml and reloading/editing at will…
thats a bit more work than i have in me tonight…
