An AppleScript to open iTunes videos in QuickTime
Authored by: venividivici on May 03, '05 05:49:41PM

Well, after I had an script all working great and using 10.3.9... and updating to QT 7, What the heck happened? Now there is nothing from QTPlugin* at /priv/tmp/501/

Did QT 7 has a new way of doing things or what do i have messed up with my system?

Is anyone using 10.3.9 with QT 7 and are able to download the videos?

Has anybody checked If 10.4 and QT7 lets you do what we used to do before,which is download trailers and videos from inside iTunes?

Let me know.

In 10.4 with QT7 it seems cache files here

/Users/yourname/Libarary/Caches/Quicktime/Downloads

the file names look like

2dbe214f-8d86709f-20d199b8-5cf0604a.qtch

renaming them to .mpg or .mov or whatever does not seem to make them playable in any media player.

Although I managed to get a cached mp3 to play in mplayer but the sound quality was terrible.

Maybe apple finally made movies unrippable from webpages and itunes videos with the release of QT7
