I have never heard of that... What issue was that, I have almost all of them so I can just look it up... If you don't know, was there a picture on the cover?...
The program you're looking for is called iTMS Extractor. You can still find it on macupdate at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14869. It works pretty well, though in my experiences it has a tendancy to crash after saving a video to disk (so I have to relaunch it after every video instead of just being able to load what's currently in iTunes). Otherwise it works as advertised.
Windows users can just save them from inside iTunes (though that might just be if you have QuickTime Player Pro).

Save this to a file in ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts
relaunch itunes and after you watch a music video, goto the scripts menu and click "the name of the script file" and a dialog should pop up... works fine for me here with 4.6 on panther 10.3.5

Code:
set originalFile to do shell script "lsof |grep -i QTP| grep iTunes|head -1|awk '{ print $9 }'"
if length of originalFile is greater than 0 then
set newFile to POSIX path of (choose file name with prompt "Save movie as:" default name "iTunes Video.mov")
if length of newFile is greater than 0 then
if newFile does not end with ".mov" then set newFile to newFile & ".mov"
do shell script "cp -v '" & originalFile & "' '" & newFile & "'"
end if
else
display dialog "No movie found." buttons {"OK"} default button "OK"
end if
