How can I save a Quicktime Movie I watch on the internet to my computer
patteo:
I would like to be able to watch a Quicktime movie off line.
How can I save the Quicktime movie to my computer without having to upgrade to Quicktime Pro just to save the file.
Carol Haynes:
The movie is usually saved in your internet cache folder (location depends on the browser you are using - check the browser preferences to find out where) and will have a .MOV extension.
Just copy the movie to where you want to store it (otherwise it might be deleted from the cache, and depending on your browser settings may be re-downloaded next time you visit that link).
Hirudin:
You can also use Mouser's very cool "URL Snooper" to find out the web address of the source file.
With URL Snooper and a little bit of leg work you can download all kinds of stuff you're not suppose to!
Curt:
patteo, When it comes to downloading videos it will be a lot easier just to install Firefox and i.e. DownloadHelper. It is sooo easy!
patteo:
Thanks Carol, Hirudin, Curt for the ideas.
And by the way, I just found out that with Skrommel's Cachesort, the downloaded mov will be automatically extracted out. But you have to be using Internet Explorer 7 (Certainly wish there was a option for Firefox as I rarely use IE7 - somehow it tends to hang on me)
