My guess, based on very little actual knowledge of how this works, is that it has something to do with the RSS feed? When I click in my browser (FireFox 2) on the link to the .mv4 file of Clarence Fisher's video and told FireFox to open it in iTunes, iTunes downloaded the video, filed it under Movies in iTunes, and I could play it from there. I mostly only use iTunes for audio files since I have an audio only iPod and prefer Windows Media Player for video so I don't have much experience with video in iTunes, but this seemed a reasonable workaound to getting a local copy of the file without jumping through a lot of technical hoops.
