Hmmm, not sure on that one Christy.  I know I can send a link of the video to myself, but not sure if you can just right click on that in the email and save it to your computer that way or not.   My email is giving me fits right now so I cannot test the theory.

After Googling several spots, this seems to be the most reliable information:

I read somewhere that you can request a CD of all your photos and videos in Photobucket for a fee.  Also saw where if you are a Pro member (guess that's paying) then you have FTP access.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Nope, you get the thumbnail image that is the index.  The video plays when you click the thumbnail.  Best way to tell is try it and you will see.  Right-click works great for JPG and GIF.  Not so with video.
