How can I save this slideshow to disk?

A friend of mine died suddenly this week and somebody made this slideshow in her memory. I would like to save this to disk so that if rockyou.com goes away I'll still have it.

Looking at Safari's Activity window, it looks like there's a small .swf that just loads the individual .jpgs and the mp3 sound file. In other words, much as with this question, there's no single .swf file to save. Is there another approach? For example, is there an application that can capture the contents of the slideshow from the browser window, much like a screen capture? OSX preferred, but I'll find a Windows box to use if that's the best solution.

I should clarify that I know I can save the individual .jpgs and the mp3; I'd like to save it as an animation.

You could take a screen grab movie; here's some links to check out:

You could download the individual jpegs and mp3 (which you say you know how to do, so that's easy) and then download and install ProShow Gold. You can then put the jpegs and mp3 together to create a playable DVD movie which you can watch anywhere, anytime (as long as there's a DVD player nearby, natch).

You can either pay to register ProShow, or just use it this one time as a demo version which will have a 'created with ProShow' watermark on the bottom of the screen.

Thank you. All of these seem like workable solutions.
