Description

Could you add support for downloading videos from the video site of MEMRI? Here's a few links to random videos from the site:

http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/5148.htm http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/5142.htm http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/5141.htm

Note that every or almost every video has also a transcript of the speech linked to it, it'd be nice, if you could just integrate it into the .description file or something like that.
