Does anyone know how i can save a video i found on the internet?
That depends on many many things (what format it is in, is it a stream, is it legal, etc... etc...)

That works with SWFs and stuff, but streaming video? O_o I don't think the whole file would be saved locally. There might be a cache or something with parts of the file, but that's it...
Indeed, streaming video isn't saved in any temporary folder. Even the small cached parts are often not saved at all, it's all in memory...

So does anyone know how i can save the video?
"Save as" would never work with something like that because it is an implemented object. Only if that object allows you to save something, you will have the "save as" option. And since WMP doesn't allow it, you can't... with that method....
Furthermore,
http://www.famestory.gr/videoPopUp/0,4238,33988,00.html is not a video, it is a simple HTML page which contains a streaming video object....
The streaming video object is:
http://www.famestory.gr/TCLasx/0,4227,33988,00.asx
This is just a reference file and in turn, it points to:
mms://media.antenna.gr/video/53BD23B0-41BC-4293-9591-66E3D036B79A.wmv
And that is the actual video. "wmv" is a normal Windows Media Video. "mms" is the streaming protocol. Depending on the server, you can either use the streaming "mms"-protocol, or you can use the "http"-protocol to play the file. In this case it can only be viewed by streaming...
But take note that saving some streamed media can be illegal! But since this video is of a so bad quality and seems to come from a public TV-broadcast, I hardly see any harm in saving it, so here it is:

(copy the url to a new browser window, as Lycos doesn't allow external linking)
Let me know when you've downloaded it, so I can take that crap off again
