Save QuickTime 7 movies to disk
Authored by: c.i.t on May 09, '05 11:49:59PM

I too was having this problem, but I found the trick. Basically, the 4k .mov file you are saving is merely a playlist of sorts (just like a .rm file). So though this is a bit tricky, open up the 4k .mov file in TextEdit. It will be full of random characters and such, but, look for a url.

In this case, there were two URLs in the playlist, I recommend simply doing a search for "http" or ".mov". The first URL was the movie I wanted, http://download.ifilm.com/qt/portal/2666580_300.mov (just a warning..it might be named something totally different in the playlist), so I merely wget'd it and now its nice and sound on my hard drive :-)

Hope this helps!!!

Having big trouble trying these tips and tricks on this one:

Peter Gabriel Growing Up On Tour
from the Peter Gabriel Website www.petergabriel.com
when you click on the 29.mb "Quicktime Movie" you get a very small file annadoc_large.qtl which if dbl-clicked opens quicktime. Even though I have QT 7 Pro, most control-click options are greyed out and the right mouse does not work.
