How to download movies from web with Quicktime Pro

How do I download movies to my harddrive from youtube and google video. Have quicktime pro, but I don't see down arrow when I watch a movie on the web. There is gotta be a way to this for a Mac. Somebody explain it to me, please....

Quicktime can't download videos from youtube. Youtube videos aren't quicktime videos they are flash flv's videos.
There's a few ways to download youtube videos:
Wail you have the youtube page open that has a video you want to download you open Safari's activity window and look for the flv's url (usually the largest file). Copy that url into Safari's download manager...
Or a much simpler way is to download MPEG-Streamclip, free. Copy the url of the youtube page into MPEG-Streamclip "Get URL" done...faster. You can either download the flv or mpg-4 (better quality than the flv) video from youtube using MPEG-streamclip.
Here's M{EG-Streammclip down page http://www.squared5.com/
As for Goggle there a download button on the right hand side of the Google web page.

  • How to download movies from iTunes.

    Hi I'm a new user of iTunes and would like to know how to download movies. from the iTunes store.

    Create an iTunes account and go shopping. It is best to use the 'Shopping Cart' feature that way you can delete items from the cart before buying in case you change your mind.
    Once you are done shopping then 'buy' the cart and once the purchase process is completed then the d/l will begin.
    You can go to this page and select the 'New User' link for more info http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/

  • How do I Capture Streaming video with Quicktime Pro?

    In Lamonts post about converting video for the iPod, it was pointed out that one can capture streaming video (Steve Jobs Keynote speech for instance), with Quicktime Pro. I have QT7.04 Pro, but don't know how to do this simple thing. Can someone please tell me?
    Smartmart

    it's possible. i did it myself, after a few tryouts.
    i still can't get the best result, but i got something.
    first of all you have to save the streaming file(thru the save as qt movie, from CTRL-click). when you get a stream it gets cached on your computer. you might playback it even when offline. so if all that you need is a simple playback, that's ok. but it's a cache, sometime the system will erase it from your HD.
    if you want to keep it as a qt file(or any other format) thats this is the deal. when you save the stream file, it saves a reference file(4kb) that reads the cache. you cannot recover them from the cache, not even by changing the termination, because the qt player won't recognize the .qtch files transformed into .mov.
    open the file(reference you saved before), choose export from the file menu, and choose the setting that you want. i still don't get a good quality(i know it's incredible that a stream file has a better quality...) and i still have to export the video separated from the audio. but if you need only the moving image to edit a homevideo, and your only source is a stream, it's a start.
    so if anyone feel like growing the knowledge tree, let's go ahead.

  • How to download WWDC 2006 keynote using QuickTime Pro?

    Hi!
    How can I download the WWDC keynote using quicktime pro?
    Matt

    You can't...The video is streamed. One of the biggest draw backs to steaming a video is you can't download it..(draw back for end user)........ You can use a program to capture the video on the monitor.

  • How to download data from Web UI in XLS (Incl multiple worksheets, cells, etc)?

    Hi,
    how to download e.g. tab-separated data into XLS I know. However, how can I specify cells, where certain fields should, go directly? Let's say I have an XLS template with field labels, special formatting (colors, fonts, etc...), multiple worksheets and so on. How can I make sure that a specific field (e.g. 'Description' or 'Status') goes into a specific cell (e.g. B2 or C4) accordingly? Is this possible at all?
    Many thanks
    Sebastian

    Hi Sebastian,
    exporting ing to a custom Excel format will require custom development. It is not possible with the standard Excel download provided by SAP CRM.
    If you are trying to implement this functionality I'd suggest that you have a look at the abap2xlsx project:

  • How to download Movies from iTunes to iPad

    I purchased a movie from iTunes on my iPad. I confirmed purchase and it looked like it was going to download. Nothing shows up in my download tab in iTunes and nothing is in my movies. I tried connecting to my computer but nothing happens then either. I tried to purchase again but the same thing happened. Anyone have any suggestions to what is going on or how to get my movies?

    I ended up ordering from my laptop
    Did you try as I suggested above?
    You should not have re-ordered it.

  • Web probroms for pc's downloading .mov from web

    Hi I'm trying to download .mov files off of the internet and the information line says that it is downloading however when it is done nothing happens. Do I need to try a different extension on my webpage like .flv so my pc will read it? Help

    Welcome to the discussions!
    I suppose you already have Quick Time for Windows, ( if not you can download it for free by pressing the Quick Time tab from a pc and using the download option. ) When the cursor in the movie pane reaches the end, you can ctrl-click the triangle in the end and choose "Save as". Otherwise it is saved in the destination you provided as all other downloads.

  • How to download movies from CD to iTunes

  • Extracting Audio from Video With QuickTime Pro?

    I read on another discussion board that QuickTime Pro could record/extract audio only from a video file. So I purchased the QuickTime Pro upgrade today (for Windows XP) but can't seem to find out how to do it, assumimg that post was correct and it can be done at all.
    The Nero video editing software I use can get the video file in MPEG-2, MPEG-1, AVI and other formats. I tried MPEG-1, but even the conversion to QuickTime's .mov format came up with no audio at all. I noticed a post here saying that was a limitation of the software. I could purchase the QuickTime MPEG-2 add-on but that seems to only allow playback and doesn't look like it will help any.
    Another post on the other discussion board said that virtualdub.org has a software program that could do this extraction, but silly me I went with Apple and was delighted to read about the no refund policy just now. :-/
    I'm guessing another possible approach is some kind of hardware solution -- a recording device of some sort?

    In order to extract a track (video or audio) the file first must have those as independent tracks.
    MPEG 1 and 2 are "muxed" (video and audio in the same track) so QuickTime Pro has nothing to extract.
    MPEG Streamclip (free) can convert .mpg and .mpeg files to QuickTime formats.
    If you export from Nero as .avi you can also use QuickTime Pro to extract tracks as it will have at least two.
    MPEG 1 and 2 are playback formats and are not intended to be edited.

  • Error when trying to save still image from video with Quicktime Pro

    I just purchased Quicktime Pro so that I can use it with my new Nano (the one that shoots video). I want to grab a frame from the video and create a still image (in jpeg format). I should be able to do it, but when I try, I get an error 11005 (or something like that). Anyone know any way to fix this? Thanks!

    I also tried the alt/ctrl/shift buttons when clicking Editor in the Photoshop welcome screen. It did ask if I wanted to reset the preferences. I chose yes. I still get the same error message when trying to save for web.
    Below....showing I don't have a "save for web" folder on my C drive.
    And below, showing the same error after pressing alt/shift/ctrl when clicking on editor and clearing the preferences.
    I don't have a 'Save for Web' folder anywhere on my C: drive. I searched and came up with no folder with the text "save for web" in it.
    I did find a "save for web" folder on my D: drive and deleted that.. but now when I start up Photoshop, the option for Save for Web is grayed out...not able to select it.

  • Creating videos for web with QuickTime Pro

    HI,
    I need to create videos for my web site that are compatible with the Ipod. However, I also need to create a file that can be played on a PC, without requiring the use to install a plug in (e.g. Flash or similar).
    Does QuickTime Pro have anything that can help me produce a video that is compatible with both the Ipod and the standard PC web browser?
    Thanks very much,
    Jamie Dolan

    Every video format will require a browser plug-in be used.
