Quick Time question

Alyeska · Post by **Alyeska** » 2004-10-07 07:13pm

I want to download a quick time movie but the website wants me to view it and won't allow a download.

Now here is the kicker. Its on my computer somewhere because now when I go to check on the movie it instantly plays.

Anyone know how to grab the file so I can store it where I want?

What system are you running? MAC or windows. And if you know the file name, use a search function on your computer to find it.

Windows XP, and I don't know the file name.

Go back to where you got it and rightclick save link as. You can see the file name then.

You are not allowed to right click. Supposedly its a streaming file but it automaticaly plays and has everything downloaded when I open it up now.

Looks like it's been cached somewhere. I bet if you could view the source you could find the URL of the embedded movie and grab it that way.

If you can't find it on the PC you could always try something like Getright browser to find it on the site.

That's just part 2. Here's the whole movie:

The movie file is cached. Just locate the cached file and save it. Check out this link.

That, or just set Quicktime to save the video to cache (Saves it to IE's Temp Internet Files), and move it out of that dir before you close QT.

He tried that; he couldn't find it. Mozilla tends not to cache with file extensions...

There should be an option in QuickTime's control panel to set it to cache.

Thats the thing, 2000/XP store IE's cache in your profile.

"C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR PROFILE\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" is the correct location IIRC.
