Save streaming QuickTime movies from Safari
Authored by: j0nathan on Oct 06, '03 11:12:24AM

It's likely here that the HTML tags embedding the movie have a flag set to prevent the save. By opening the movie directly (i.e. refering to the .mov file) avoids the tags and therefore allows the save - this would be the case in any browser. Also, it is likely the movie is a progressive download rather than a true streaming movie - attempting to save a stream will only save a reference to the streaming movie which will attempt to reconnect and stream when played.
