I wanted to downlaod some of these short videos from chinadaily.com. For example, http://video.chinadaily.com.cn/2013/1012/1388.shtml
I have tried NetVideoHunter with Firefox, which works for me for many other sites. But here, NetVideoHunter shows me very small segments of less than 200 KB and when I try to play them (in the NVH panel itself), it says 'Connecting' and then 'Stream not found'.
I have seen other question on SuperUser about how to download a Flash video. The URL shows something likes this for each segment.

Is there a way to download these videos? Or is this method of segmenting done to prevent downloads?
Thank you
