I'm tending to agree with you. There's several links now that I had saved some time ago, different artists, and they're removed due to "violations" of copyright or whatever it said.

James, I've found a different program just this morning and it plays videos saved in mp4 format.
I'd previously downloaded a different program that allows me to save youtube video to audio; but this a.m. I downloaded the program which allows you to save to video (in mp4 or flv; I saved in mp4). I couldn't play mp4 in windows media player or media monkey (the other program I'd downloaded some time ago).
The one you linked me to appears to require payment...unless I'm mistaken.
If the one I linked you to requires payment I cheated them, ahaha. Seriously, it is free. I just have installed it and it seems to work fine. I had never heard of the one you mentioned (but I will stipulate that there are plenty of things I have never heard of). The Applian download also has a link to another one called Replay Media Catcher and I got it too. Haven't used it yet so I can't say if it is good, bad, or average.
Disclaimer: I didn't pick out the music that goes with this video and if anyone is offended by the "f word" or the so-called "n word" it might be better not to click the link.
Capoeira is a form of martial arts combined with dance. From what I understand Gusmao is a master in Capoeira and iirc has a black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu.
The following is from A SHORT HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION TO CAPOEIRA
NOWADAYS, it is thought that slaves from Angola, who were first brought to Brazil in the 16th century, developed Capoeira as a self-defense technique.
Basing themselves on traditional African dances and rituals, these slaves practiced Capoeira in the work free hours left to them, thus training both mind and body for combat situations. As the slave-masters forbade any kind of martial art, it was cloaked in the guise of an innocent-looking recreational dance. In the 17th century escaped-slaves founded a number of "quilombos" (hidden slave-governed territories), in which the Art of Capoeira was further perfected.
The inhabitants of Palmares, the largest of the quilombos, fought a decade-long war against their colonial oppressors. Capoeira was used not only in direct combat, it also inspired the battle strategy itself; feigning retreat, thus luring the over-confident enemy into remote territories only to strike back at an unsuspecting place and time.
The official prohibition of Capoeira remained even after slavery was abolished in 1888. It was nevertheless practiced by the poorer population on public hollidays, during work-free hours and similar occasions. Riots, caused also by police interference, were common. Persecution and punishment were almost successful in eradicating Capoeira from the "streets" of Brazil by the 1920's.
In spite of the ban, Master Bimba and Master Pastinha founded the first Capoeira schools in Salvador, Bahia. Master Bimba created a new style, the "Capoeira Regional" (as opposed to the tratditional "Capoeira Angola") by incorporating new moves and techniques and was finally successful in convincing the authorities of the cultural value of Capoeira, thus ending the official ban in the 1930's.
