Well, even with QuickTime Pro, the website has set up the QuickTime plug-in settings to disallow saving the content. But that just disables saving it easily from the plug-in itself. It's still possible to save these movies - and it doesn't require any form of QuickTime to be installed on your computer.

The process of saving movie presented this way is a bit of a pain, but here are the steps:

  1. Go to the web page containing the movie of interest. In your web browser, choose the option to "view source";
  2. In the source, look for html code that embeds the movie. It starts off like
    "<object codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" width="320" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" height="272"><param name="src" value=" http://media.revver.com/broadcast/58763/video.mov/17926" />" blah blah blah;
  3. You see that "http:" link after the "src" parameter? That's the file we want to grab - now we just have to create some HTML that links directly to this file!;
  4. (version a) Create a basic HTML file, one with all the essential tags in it, that's ready for you to type web content in to; or more creatively...
  5. (version b) Go to FR, find a post, hit the reply button, and you'll have a "virtual" HTML text editor in the "Your Reply" field;
  6. Enter the following HTML code into whichever option you chose above:

    <a href="http://media.revver.com/broadcast/58763/video.mov">Control-Click or Right-Click Here to Download Movie</a>

  7. If you chose option a, save the file, and open it in a web browser;
  8. If you chose option b, click the "Preview" button on FR's reply window;
  9. In either case, you'll now see a web page with a link that looks like this:
    Control- or Right-Click Here to Download Movie
  10. Control Click (Mac) or Right-Click (Windows) to get a pop-up menu. Choose the choice that says "Download linked file to hard drive".
  11. Repeat for each clip. It isn't so bad after the first clip, trust me.

Like I said, it's a pain, but that's how I got all 6 clips onto my hard drive, where the Congressional Democrats can't work to censor them.

good work. there are plenty of other fileshare sites you could re-upp them too if they get taken down. I imagine ABC will be going after them.

In the spirit of Freeper-dom (we all do our part-however big or small), here's the links to download all six clips. Right mouse click and SAVE TARGET AS to a folder on your hard drive. Rename each clip when saving it so you don't overwrite the previous. These clips nail Bubba and his dithering staff. Do it now before they disappear. Upload to any peer-to-peer or Bit Torrent and do your part for Clinton's legacy. He'll appreciate it! Clip one Clip two Clip three Clip four Clip five Clip six
