Ripping Google Video footage?

Which programme must i get to be able to rip Google Video footage for use in FCP?

If the videos are available for capture, you can sometimes Control-Click inside the movie window and the dialogs will ask you for a capture destination, or, if the system opened up QuickTime Pro (and you have QuickTime Pro), you might be able to export the video after it finishes downloading and before it finishes playing.

If none of that works, then Google is using a propriatary internal movie player and you're stuck. Sometimes the PC people have better tools for that kind of thing than the Mac people.

Snapz Pro X may work for you. You can capture any window of moving footage on your screen; but processing time is long and intensive, and you may not get the frame rate you want.

you could try using Fraps.. which I think is PC only. It will capture whatever is on the screen..
then you could crop that footage for use in fcp
