Downloading embedded media files

I have to do a 20 min report for a class in school. I was looking around and I found a really cool RealPlayer movie embedded in a web page that would be a great way to start off my presentation. The problem is I have found no way to say this movie onto my coumputer. I would like to be able to play it in a Power Point presentation.

Any suggestions would be of help.

Thank you

I am going to assume that you know enough about the web to have tried right-clicking?

If so, I have been frustrated by the same problem a few times before. Thanks for asking - I am sorry I don’t have the answer…

:lurkingandwaitingforasmartpersontoshowup:

If it was not a streaming file (live), then try searching through your temp directory for files of that type. For windows, usually c:\windows emp

Although I’ve heard of applications to try and grab the stream. :slight_smile:

Otherwise, it’s usually easiest to figure out what file is being pointed to in the page source.
Copy that into the address line.

**sdimbert ** - thanks for the not thinking i am a moron. yes i right clicked.

The Nerd - Thanks I didn’t even think of that. I will try that the next time i get a chance.

thanks

Try doing a search on “Voquette Media Manager”

Install it and it allows you to save streaming audio to your hard drive.

It’s free.

Otherwise, unless you have a program that allows you to do that, you can’t save that sort of thing. Web-dudes set it up this way precisely for that reason–they don’t want you stealing their stuff.
