You could save the link to favorites. I do believe even if you did save it as an html you could double click on it and it should come up. I kow when I have html pages on my system and I double click it , it comes up with the page not the html code.

You could save it as html but you would still be streaming it from the internet. Sometimes, that's the only way to do it. If the page requests you to click a link to view the video, then that link is what you need to right click and choose "save as" on.
