Downloading QuickTime Movie Trailers

Apple may have changed the download method for the movie trailers. As a result, the techniques mentioned in our previous coverage for saving "unsavable" QuickTime movies may not work in the future. However, Aaron Smith has come up with another suggestion. He writes: "The movie trailer for Ring of Fire does not behave like previous trailers. With movie trailers downloaded in the past, the file was either stored in the 'Temporary Files' folder for Internet Explorer (contained within the Preferences Folder for the System), or was stored in the invisible 'Temporary Items' folder for the Hard Disk under some random 'QuickTemp' file name. This isn't the case for the Ring of Fire movie trailer (I couldn't figure out where the file was being stored on my disk at all). A workaround for this is to open up the source code for the web site which is displaying the movie trailer in question. Then locate the 'embed' tag within the HTML code and copy the URL assigned to the 'src' tag. Open up a new browser window, and paste it into the URL field. Then hit the 'Go' button or hit the enter key to open the connection to the Web site. Nothing should change in the browser field, but you should see the download progress of the movie file displayed at the bottom of browser window. The file will be downloaded in Explorer's temporary files folder with a name like 'Orig_000a9fc0.IETemp.' It's probably also a good idea to move the file out of the temporary Files folder before closing the browser window." Update: Don White solved the Ring of Fire download problem by going to the Apple Movie Trailers site and simply saved it with no hassle. Jeff Leigh found that the movie is saved in the cache directory of Netscape; getting it here was easier than using the Explorer work-around.
