I'd like to be able to download embedded video (is that the right term) from various websites to view at later times and have only tried IGetMovies. It doesn't work for me. Does anyone have a suggestion apart from Quicktime Pro?

Select "Activity" from Safari's "Window" menu. The window will show a list of the complete addresses to each and every file loaded by a particular website. Simply find the file with the extension or size of the movie, click on the line, do a copy, then paste into Safari's downloads window to download the file.

Are certain videos "just not downloadable"?
I used your suggestion at starwars.com and also AOL video for a new Springsteen video and I don't see any file ending with .mov or .mpg or something similar=mostly .gif files. Here's the info for the Springsteen video. Can anyone decipher?

The video in question appears to be Windows Media streaming. Generally speaking, streaming video content cannot be saved to disc, save by using a screen video capture application like Snapz Pro.
The trick I mentioned will still work for non-streaming video though.

Thanks for your input.

I once saved a Windows Media stream (the tobacco CEOs shamelessly lying to a House subcommittee declaring that tobacco is not addictive).
I think what I did was:
- Play the stream in Safari through WMP plugin.
- Dont quit anything.
- Search for invisible files, last modified today, over say a quarter or half a megabyte.
- Look for some cache file (if I could remember the name, I could simplify the search criteria).
- Copy the cache file to the desktop...if this is the correct file, it will play just by double clicking.
- You can change the extension to .wmv though this probably isnt necessary.

Could you please stretch this window a little more... I still have some extra space left on my very large monitor. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Heh Heh....oops...

How do I search for invisible files?

[Martian]

I use OS 10.3. If you are using 10.4, I believe that you must use Spotlight,
which I know nothing about. In earlier OSs, you can add multiple search criteria.
The visibility criteria gives you three choices visible, invisible, and both.
I really dont know why visible is a choice because if you dont invoke this criteria altogether,
you still get visible only.
(Anybody know why this is so damn wide? I just edited my post by inserting hard line breaks)
