Free utility for downloading videos from MegaVideo
In order to download videos from video sharing site Megavideo you normally need a premium account which costs $9.99 per month. But Megavideo Video Downloader will download and save any video on the site for free.
All you need to do is enter the URL of the video you want to download, click the add button to put it in your list of movies to download, and click the start button. Videos are downloaded as FLV files and can be converted and saved as AVI, MPEG, WMV, or FLV files. The utility will also tell you the size of a video file before you begin downloading.
Now, there are many files hosted on Megavideo that have been uploaded illegally, so we of course don't condone downloading or even watching these videos. And if you feel queasy about using software that's designed to get around paying for a legitimate service, you could always pay for a premium account and use the utility anyway. Megavideo Video Downloader allows you to create batch download jobs, which makes it pretty useful even if you're a paying member.

This is fine and dandy but does anyone know how to rip videos from Hulu?

I know how to rip videos from any site. Manually though. I am looking for an automatic way.

The thing people don't realize is that when you stream these videos, you are actually downloading them. Unfortunately they are deleted when you close the browser window.
C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Local Settings\Temp
List the contents and sort by date, the most recent one is your video.
Rename it to flv.

That doesn't work on Hulu videos. I don't see any most recent temp file created.
I do for youtube, but when I try to rename or even copy it I get an error message saying it's in use. The way to unuse it is close the window, but that deletes it. So I don't know how to use this technique to save videos even for youtube.
Any advice?

Well I imagine they will put a stop to this soon. If they are charging for a service that kind of makes this wrong.

I use John Q TV to download my videos and it's pretty useful because I use it while I watch my favorite shows.
