save as lets me download a .mov file but the file is less than 1kb... opened it with text editor and it just has information to another link... tried to use that link to get the file and could not...

any advise?

need from lecture 2 and beyond
Your problem is that even if you use the trick I learned, and shown above, then when you plop the link to the video:

http://www.ats.ucla.edu/videos/edu231e_1_ref.mov

in a browser, then it just links you to a streaming movie file. What this saves as, is just a shortcut to the actual video hidden on the UCLA server somewhere. Even if you right click, and save that link, then.. you still have to connect to watch the movie.

Thus the fact (which I have determined) that streaming media really sux.

Even a little program I wrote doesn't work to grab it.
To DL the movie, you will have to gain exclusive access to the UCLA server that the movie is hosted on from what I can tell.

But then again..
I'm not sure about QT files. Maye someone else can help you better.
