Actually, I didn't expect so many replies to my "tip". Fistly, let me just repeat that it's not really "mine". I just happened to find it on the net and thought it might be useful.
However, I will comment on the three answers. All three are, of course, correct. As usual, there are several ways to do anything and each has it's advantages and disadvantages. The whole point of what I suggested was that it's simple and generic and you don't have to install anything.

True, but you have to find the file which is buried somewhere in the cache - not difficult, but an extra task. And then, you still have to do the conversion to AVI.

Unplug presents you with a list of one or more files and you sometimes have to guess which is the one you want. And again, the conversion is a seperate step.
