My browser's Windows Media plugin is loading this file. I can see that from the View Source page.

Can anybody figure a way to flat-out download it? I can't. I can only view thing inside the plugin.

Oh i don't remember. Durcam showed me this to once.

What browser are you using?

[Junkboxy]

Firefox with the Flip4Mac WMV plugin.

Actually, I did find a way to save it. Flip4Mac has a couple of options in the menu with the down-pointing arrow.
Save as Source...
Save as QuickTime Movie...
Save as Source only saves a 4KB wafer thing with a couple of refernce URLs.
I kept on trying to use those reference URLs to download the movie, but they would only download me another 4kb wafer thing with the same couple of reference URLs (*purses lips* Hmmm. Ohhhh, a wise guy, eh? wubwubwubwub)

I came back to it after the whole movie had loaded into the plugin.
Save as Source was still the same result.
But Save as QuickTime Movie worked.

I could not see the movie caching into Firefox's cache. I found a folder for "WMV Player" in my Home Library's Caches folder, but it wasn't there either..

So, new question:
Does the Flip4Mac plugin cache to the Hard Drive anywhere, or does it only keep it in memory?

[hungarianstud]

Firefox actually has a plugin to download from the cache. If i am not mistaken.
Its a little thingy that runs in the menu bar and when you want to download a stream clip you just view source and copy and paste the link into the plugin and it downloads it auto. But i think its in some wierd format. Then you just convert it. Seems like a lot of work though. I don't even remember the name of the plugin. Today just seems to be forget day or something. lol

Flip4Mac: I always thought it cache to the the quicktime folder, but now that i look at it , it doesn't. Thats odd. I don't even know where to look now.

I'll have to look into FireFox plugins later. I have the DownloadEmbedded one, and it yielded me the same 4kb text-file-wafer-thing that I got with the View-Source-copy-and-paste-and-download technique. Maybe there exists a plugin that'll work with this kind.

I think the WMV plugin does some kind of handshake maneuver that lets it pull in the file, and the downloader plugin would have to do this too..


That QuickTime cache is just like Safari's: 15 X 15. I did find an elegant way to search it though, just doing a drag'n drop using the Finder's Command-F window. I'll outline it later..

i can't even get whatever that is to load.

[hungarianstud]

Time to get a mac T. :p

(That one in the first post is of a 450MB file of,...Candy Manson, I think,....so not a good one to practice with.)
