And yet another way...

As Safari caches a movie, it is actually just saving it to disk for faster playback. It saves these in the /tmp directory with a name like "WebKitPlugInStreamLSF324". So, in the case of this Pink Floyd movie, you can just wait until its finished caching and copy the 86 Megabyte file in /tmp to wherever you want.

OK, so what do you do when, after the following the directions in the last post (copying the file out of the /tmp directory, lets say to the desktop) and Quicktime will not open the file? I changed the filename and gave it the .mov on the end, but QT says the file is not a type that it recognizes?

Any ideas?
