Re: Suggestions on how to d/l video clips from Safari
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.
Re: Suggestions on how to d/l video clips from Safari
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?

Re: Suggestions on how to d/l video clips from Safari
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.

Re: Suggestions on how to d/l video clips from Safari
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.

Re: Suggestions on how to d/l video clips from Safari
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.
