This is incorrect. You cannot download anything (i.e. save it to your hard drive). You can stream only. This is an important distinction.

It is a distinction only for the computer illiterate. Stream capture programs are all over the net. and for that matter - hardware capture devices are cheap.

AND TOTALLY INCORRECT.

Even if you STREAM a movie, you are actually DOWNLOADING IT.

All you have to do is find the folder where the file is kept.

I use the DIVX player for 99percent of the movies I watch ONLINE, and it has a folder where the 3 incoming files are downloaded. The instant it completes downloading (buffering the entire movie. The 'status' bar on the bottom of the DIVX player), just close your browser.

In that folder will now be the ONE DIVX file prefixed with the movie name. I.E. movienamexxxx.divx Move it to another folder, and you can play it all you want. Simple as pie.

This is incorrect.


Technically, it is correct. The video file is streamed (downloaded) to a special directory on your computer. The segments are re-assembled on your computer during PLAY.

You could, if you had a 're-assembler' program, put the pieces back together on your computer.
