Yes, it is unfortunate. You can't copy the file (or rename) it without
getting an error message (something about a file sharing violation). So any
video you wish to keep has to be downloaded using a special piece of
software (Unplug and Media Pirate are the two I use), unless you know how to
get around the sharing violation problem on windows, or you aren't using
windows at all :)
