Reclaiming my video clips from Photobucket

I don't know if I've placed this request in the correct forum, but I'd really appreciate some help/advice on reclaiming my video clips back from Photobucket!

Four years ago I uploaded some clips to Photobucket to save storage space on my laptop. Tonight, I tried to retrieve these clips but every copy I made and tried to store on my PC either stored it as an HTM file (useless!), or just redirected the copied clip back to Photobucket

Does anybody know of a wideot's way to reclaim my video clips back?

Thanks in advance.

No idea if this will work, but there's some advice here.

Thanks for trying to help, Words

. After following the instructions, as soon as I'd deleted the text in between ? and = and hit enter, my file immediately opened up in Real Player (thought I was getting somewhere!), but didn't give me the option to save it at anytime. Was a worth a try. I'll keep working on it, the answer must be out there somewhere!

Sorted!

A friend suggested I temporarily change my default program from RealPlayer to Google Chrome to open the file before following the instructions as per the above link, and it worked! All I had to do then was convert it to a media file of my choice via RealPlayer. Many thanks, Words, from one very happy bunny!
