Help with Quicktime links.

[Cwluc]

First I was hoping that someone knew of a way to grab the URL for the QT trailer here. I know that lately there are a couple different ways to stop users from saving the files to their drives both involve disabling the right clicking. But usually in the source you can still find the URL. Latly this hasn't been working out so well.

If someone knows how to get the URL could you please share your method? I would love to be able to do this myself without having to ask the community each time, thank you for you time.

EDIT: I'm going nuts here, I found the URL's some weird crap with a script who knows I got links

http://raincloud.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/happyfeet/trailer3/trailer3_500.mov

http://raincloud.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/happyfeet/babymumbles/babymumbles_hi.mov

but I still cannot save them.

You can save from http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/happyfeet/

@drewzor I'm not sure what you mean by edit. Do you mean inside the browser, or when you op en the URL from QuickTime itself?

@roma_turok Those two trailers are the first 2 on Apple's site, and I do have them, thank you for pointing them out. But the two links I put are two newer ones that aren't located anywhere else. I am trying to put a disc together for a friend. She will love it, if I can get all of the components working together.

drewsor means he wrote a response, then decided, for reasons unknown, to remove it. The videos on the actual happyfeet website are flash video, not quicktime, or at least, not pure quicktime. they certainly don't endt up in the Firefox cache. Even greasemonkey doesn't seem to see them

I did provide the links for the QT, on the Happy Feet page you can select between a few different formats and speeds. You can find that menu if you click "viewing options" on the page.

In Firefox I can't seem to find where the temp QT files are stored, and in IE (yeah I tried) in the temp folder it only saves the link for the "streaming" versions of the same movie. WAIT (light bulb?!) what if there is no actual downloadable version and they are all in fact streaming is there a program to save those streams QT streams as a permanent file?

Deleted most of detail as Baldrick found an easier (and best) way below I pasted these back in to show how its done manually -

In essence the direct download path is hidden across a text file and you need to glue it together , then download it and then that will give you the redirector file - change suffix to txt , read it and it`ll give you the real address to download from . Right click the page to view the source (this is a small piece of it , for one of the trailers) -

var trailer1_path = "http://raincloud.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/happyfeet/";
var trailer1_id = "happy_feet_teaser";

For this trailer , take

http://raincloud.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/happyfeet/

and add

happy_feet_teaser

and for type of file you want ie mov , real or windows media and speed/bitrate you copy the suffix from lower down in the file -

so for arguments sake -

_qt_56.mov

to give you -

http://raincloud.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/happyfeet/happy_feet_teaser_qt_56.mov

Download that and you`ll have a small redirector file , rename its suffix to txt , read it and the url will be inside it .

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?quicktime type="application/x-quicktime-media-link"?>
<embed
src="http://pdl.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/happyfeet/happy_feet_teaser_qt_56.mov"
/>

You can see the url you need above , if your using Net Transport the windows media doesnt need the disecting of the redirector file , it reads it and downloads the wmv file on the fly . The real download isnt working properly , Im short on time to fix it , to see what bit Ive overlooked on it as Id either use WM or MOV anyway .



I add this back in only to show how its done manually .

Anyone have success with Net Transport cause here I go.

Right click save as, works fine with firefox here. 23.5MB and 14.2MB.

I just opened the first .mov links you posted with notepad and found the links in them.

[Cwluc]

Oh man thank you! You have just made my day. Once again, thank you all for your time.

@Sartori That is a great guide for anyone who needs it (I did) ty. Oh and Net Transport was not the way to go for me but I did get the mov downloaded and converted to mpeg's.
