 How can I capture online streaming video from a computer that doesnt allow me to install programs on it?

I’m watching online streaming videos on a bank of public computers that don’t let you install software on them. But I’d like to capture the audio / video of the videos so I can watch them again at my leisure. The computers have USB ports, speaker+microphone jacks. Would someone please advise me on how I can record either the video/audio/both?

Online streaming?

Does watching online streaming require download. I mean, watching online videos is just transferring data right ? Is it that watching them is like downloading them or something ? The main reason i ask this is because i want to know if i’ll get charged in my internet bill for watching online streaming videos. my internet does not have unlimited download and they charge a certain amount for 1 mb of download and stuff. I’m not referring to the plug ins and stuff that are required to watch the videos online. More like, is watching the videos themselves a type of download or something ?

In the first strike of its kind, hundreds of popular sites such as Wikipedia, Reddit and Boing Boing were scheduled to temporarily shut down Wednesday to protest a pair of anti-piracy bills that they say essentially amount to censorship of the Internet.

The prospect of a day without the websites set off a frenzy in the hours leading up to the strike, which was slated to begin Tuesday night, with parents urging their children to do their homework early and tech-savvy users posting instructions for how to access cached Wikipedia pages during the blackout.

“If Wikipedia is going down, I’m going down with it,” wrote Twitter user Mariellesmind, who was among thousands that filled the microblogging site with panicked, profanity-filled tweets.

“Terrified about the Wikipedia outage,” tweeted Los Angeles resident Chandra Moore. “I was told to use an encyclopedia if I have a question, but I won’t even be able to Wiki what one is.”

The Internet’s biggest power players, including Google, Facebook and YouTube, were planning to stay up and running, but the shutdown of the other sites and the ensuing anxiety underscored the breadth and influence of the world’s Internet companies, as well as Americans’ dependence on them.
