Right-click, save as?
What type of file is it?

 

[virtuamike]

If it's a quicktime movie, just configure quicktime to cache the movie to your harddrive. After it's finished dl'ing, search for then rename it.

actually IE will cache it any case.

There was recently a thread about saving Real Audio streaming files:

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=38&threadid=368997

I'm in the same situation--one of my classes has a bunch of lectures saved online as Real Audio. I'd like to save them to my computer, because sometimes before an exam the server gets too busy and has trouble serving up the videos. Unfortunately, Real seems to think that's very BAD :Q and has squashed the shareware programs that let you do this.

Harry Potter Movie Trailer on WB



<< right cliock -> save as >>

how stupid do you think i am? i tryed to analyse the html to find links to the .asf files but no can do. the site blockes the article.jsp file from downloading...

they have all formats: Windows Media, Real, QuickTime. i dont have quicktime installed, but i can do that. i know its supposed to be cached but i wasnt able to find it. anyone?

try this

in quick time.. right click and save.. getting others.

By the way its the fast / high speed version, 300K.. but its a better quality version.
Edit: Right click and save.. that's quick time format.

Arent I a good hacker.

its a .asx file - find the source of it on IE's cache, search hdd. - 300K for Windows Media

Havent tried this but its the real audio format.. as usual the 300K version.

thanks very much the_good_guy. which plug-in or smth did you use to get those links? they are too long for explorer... is there any &quot;weird&quot; browser which can show them?

YEah, i have read them too. Very good writing. The trailer looks like the movie will be good too. I hope so at least.

 

[wolf550e]

i not only read all four books, i actualy bought them.
it looks like its gonna be a good movie, but even if it isnt, i have to see it 'coze i am hooked on harry potter. i have a date on Nov 16th since when the date was annonced... (she likes harry potter too...)

Potter and LOTR will be a lot of fun. I can't tell much from the LOTR trailer, but the HP trailer sure made me feel encouraged that the movie will be true to the book.

Fast way that ive found to save .movs . right click on IE get into properties, in temporary internet files click on settings, from settings click on view files. If youve downloaded the complete file it'll be there just copy it over somewhere. BTW check out Planet of the apes it looks promising.

 

[The Stigenator]

well for that link just right click on the link and save as the quick time.

Actually you have to be a programmer to know how to get around stuff. However to let you know, the .jsp file is actually a text file, open it up in wordpad and in there you will see the link.


Edit: I love harry potter, I have all the books and read them. Cant wait for the movie.

The_Good_Guy, why do you add those rubbish characters in the link you gave us where we can access
through the Shorter Link here

 

[The Stigenator]

well I didnt wanted a quick fix. Come on it was less than 5 minutes of work and it worked right?

 

[MC]

yeah....i am just curious...

I transfered the QuickTime cached movie (from Temp Internet Files to my trailers dir)... Anyway, it looks interesting, but the trailer is kind-of slow... Maybe I'm just tired, but it didn't captivate me at all.
