I am looking for simple, straightforward, reliable software or browser plugin that will save any video that streams on my monitor to a file I can subsequently put onto a DVD.

Is there such?

Months ago I had something that did that (Real Audio video downloader). If I hovered the mouse cursor over any video, a tab opened up at the top of the video that said "Record this video." Click the tab, the video was saved. But then Firefox did an update (without my asking it to) and put a message on my screen saying that it was disabling the Real Audio video downloader because it was causing stability issues with some users and nothing I have been able to do has ever gotten it to work again.

Recommendations?
