Say you have some streaming video and you want to save it ... how do you do so? You can't click save as cuz it's not a file, rather just streaming video.

Any rippers out there?

Great topic! I have a question too. I has some streaming audio that I was listening too over the weekend. I wanted to save it to my PC, but for the life of me could not figure out how. Anyone able to relieve me of my ignorance?

After months of trying i figured it out...
You have to watch the video (let it finish downloading in your browser), and immediately go to your disk cache...usually somewhere around Program Files-Windows-Temporary Internet Files...and somewhere in there will be your quicktime video Smile/happy/getting dizzy

When it´s really a streaming video or audio source, it depends on the browser plugin or the player you´re using. If there´s no capturing feature there, you´re out of luck.

When it´s a "closed" video or audio segment (like a movie trailer) the player will usually download it and make a temporary copy for playback. In that case searching through your browser cache may help.

If it´s QuickTime, you can use the QuickTime Pro player/plugin which is able to save files to disk (only non-streaming ones, though).

Many times, RealPlayer video downloads a small file (.rm or .ram) and then launches the RealPlayer program to play it. Open the .rm file with a text editor like Notepad and it should have the URL to the media file itself. May work best to use a program like wget or curl on Unix, command line programs that download a url to disk, rather than a web browser. But the browser might work too.

The problem I have is that my files are streaming Quicktime files, and I have located the cache directory where a temporary copy resides after the file has been downloaded, but it is deleted as soon as the window is closed. And I can't do anything to the file that is temporarily downloaded until the window is closed because it says "file is in use".

Just get QuickTime Pro. It´s not expensive and you´ll be able to save to disk right from the browser (on the Mac even with drag-and-drop).
