Save iTMS Music videos in iTunes 4.7.1
Authored by: fragmentoflight on Jul 07, '05 02:07:00PM

As long as we can still the find the GET request, we shoudl always be able to get the videos. The only thing I can really think of to block my method is to encrypt the entire file, or set up a secure authorization between the itunes client and the servers. Personally I think it's a little too easy? The encrypted the headers, but left open the ability to simply to fake the final request. They could of simply added Fair Play to the videos and let people keep them on the computer... then again Fair Play's days, at least version 2 is over, as that thing has been cracked wider then humpty. Be ready to start over in iTunes version 5

Save iTMS Music videos in iTunes 4.7.1

Yeah, I thought it was very strange to encrypt the lead-in pages and not the MOV itself. Of course, that might be next, even before iTunes 5 (which had better add folders/hierarchy to the playlist management!).

Still, I'm bummed that my method of saving the video with the Artist/Title info in the filename won't work anymore. :-(

I've started a forum thread so that we might dive into this some more (without cluttering this Hint more than it is), and so that people can subscribe to the thread (instead of having to keeping checking this hint manually).

Save iTMS Music videos in iTunes 4.7.1

Looks like something is going to happen before iTunes 5 is released. For a lot of the daytime today iTunes store has not been available in the UK which i put down to the 500 millioneth song promotion. But tonight at home my 3 UK OS X macs can get into the american iTunes store but when requesting videos we are pushed back to the lacklustre UK video list of 103 duller than dull videos despite store home still being listed as as America.

I have suspected that the reason apple were tightening up on saving videos was not record company rights management concerns... they must be trying to close a free resource stream ready for the hard sell of video iPod will necessitate. The other main uk source of downloadable Quicktime music videos which partners with apple has also started only supplying streaming videos
