Question:

How can I get a copy of a Quicktime video (*.MOV file) on my pc from a website?

by | earlier

I need about 60 seconds of video from a website. I tried to right-click and save the file (like I would with a WMV, for example) and was told I needed to BUY a Pro version of Quicktime , which I'm not gonna do for 60 seconds of video. Anybody know a way to do this? Should I try some screen-capture software or what?

In your web browser find the option that will allow you to view the page source. Assuming you can read HTML find the address to the video (it should be within <EMBED> tags). If its the only movie on the page simply locate a file that has the ending .mov. Highlight the entire address (including the HTTP part) and copy it. Now in a simple text editor (not ms word) write in the code

<html><head>

<title>Downloader</title>

</head>

<body>

<a href="(Paste Movie Address HERE)">Download</a>

</body></html>

paste the movie address where it says to paste the movie address in the code. Save the file as index.html and open it up with a web browser. It should be a web page with a link that says "download" Right click on it and click save file to disk.
