Save 'unsavable' QuickTime movies (revisited)
Authored by: Wayne_S on Jan 25, '04 12:13:10AM
Open Activity Window (Window -> Activity) to get the URL of the movie you want. Then just use curl. I was able to get:

http://www.cic.sfu.ca/clappertale/ShulaibaoE.mov

without any problem by typing the following in Terminal:

Macintosh:~ my_account$ curl http://www.cic.sfu.ca/clappertale/ShulaibaoE.mov > test.mov

The greater-than sign redirects the output of curl from the standard out (display) to a file I called test.mov. Because I invoked curl from within my home directory, the output file was created in my home directory. You can then either use the GUI to double-click on the new file or stay in Terminal and use the "open" command.

Every rule has an exception. Especially this one.
