Save wmv files to disk?

How to save wmv files to disk... just can play them with wmv player.
Firefox has option Save File As.. but it doesn't save, just plays.
Safari has no option to save.
Thanks in advance
Powerbook G4, Mini, Thinkpad   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

If Flip4Mac won't do it alone, you can get QuickTime Pro and use Flip4Mac. This only works for non-rights-protected wmv's.

    The Mac SuperDrive built into your Mac is the Optical drive.
    1. Insert your Windows DVD in Optical drive. Disconnect any external storage.
    2. Insert a USB2 Flash drive. This will be used to hold the BC drivers.
    3. Start BCA. Check the options to download software and Install Windows. You do not need to download Windows. The BCA will download the BC drivers to the USB.
    4. Partition your drive.

  • Download Helper - How to download & save .wmv files WITHOUT the video being downloaded playing on screen?

    Windows 7 Pro
    Latest Version of Firefox
    Latest Version of Download Helper
    Windows Media Player and VLC are installed
    When I download a video file (typically .wmv) the video begins playing on the monitor screen prior to my being able to use Download Helper to download the video and save to the hard drive. This typically results in the video stopping and playing and stopping throughout the download process because of the download speed available. There is never any issue with the final download on the hard drive.
    Today I installed latest version of Firefox and Download Helper on another computer.
    Windows 7
    Latest Version of Firefox
    Latest Version of Download Helper
    Windows Media Player (only) is installed
    Downloaded the same .wmv file downloaded above and the video did NOT begin playing on the monitor screen. Download Helper allowed me to download the file to the hard drive WITHOUT constantly listening to the video start/stop/start/stop etc.
    What option (in which program) would allow the playing of the video to be toggled on or off while downloading the .wmv file?
    Thank you.

    Once the download has started, you can go to another web page. The
    download should be a separate function.

  • Downloading wmv file to disk

    I have a link on a webpage which directly connects to a wmv file that i 'd like to download, for some reason this is not possible with windows media player (it's the first time i ever used a wind med pl)... how do i do that or do i use quicktime instead?

    Unfortunately, not all WMV files will play in the Mac version of Windows Media Player. Also, some of them might have played but they are protected by MicroSofts Digital Rights Management. You could try the demo version of the $10 player from this outfit to see if can play it. If it will not play it you likely can't view it in MacOS.

  • Save Log file from Disk Utility App running from Recovery HD?

    Background:
    I had an issue with QT and screen recording; it was coming out solid green. I read on Apple Support that I should restart holding down Command-R. I did that, booted into Recovery HD, then opened Disk Utility. I repaired permissions, then decided to repair my HDD for good measure. I noticed that Disk Utility did make a repair to my HDD. Something like "found 57" instead of "56" files in the directory on the HDD; directory needs to be updated. Not sure, I just remember those numbers… "56" is what the system knew of but there were really "57" on the HDD. I sound ignorant… I know.
    After I rebooted QuickTime worked correctly (maybe merely repairing permissions was the solution) however another issue, I have been struggling with for years, was also resovlved!
    I have been having an issue for years with an Icy Dock external enclosure in RAID 1 mode with my older 2009 iMac. The issue remained after upgrading from Snow Leopard to Tiger to Mountain Lion and resetting PRAM and repairing permissions and repairing it's HDD etc. many times over. After powering up the enclosure a message would appear: "The Disk you insterted was not readable by this computer." "Initialize…" "Ignore" "Eject". Then the volume would mount on the Desktop behind the warning and work perfectly. I would then click "Ignore". I had modified the old iMac with an internal SSD in place of the optical drive… at one point.
    I recently sold that iMac and bought a 2012 iMac
    Regardless I continued to have the same issue with the enclosure and my new iMac. However, after repairing the internal HDD today, the external Icy Dock RAID now mounts without giving me a warning to, "Initialize…" "Ignore" "Eject". This warning was appearing just before I repaired permissions and repaired the internal HDD on the iMac using the Recovery HD. In fact the reason I was tyring to use QT screen capture was to make a screen capture of the terminal window process while runing a "diskutil activity" command during powering-on my external enclosure to send to Icy Dock to troubleshoot this cross computer and cross OS incompatibility with their enclosure.
    My external RAID enclosure wasn't even powered on during repair of the internal HDD?! So how could a brand new iMac's HDD directory be effected in such a way by an external RAID enclosure as to make changes to it's directory. And now how could an issue with mounting an external RAID enclosure be corrected by repairing the directory structure on the internal HDD on the iMac? Could it be a conflict with USB IDs? Are those written to the directory? The internal and external sharing the same ID and the external having to be unmounted and remounted using a new ID each time? How could it have been repaired? Lots of questions…
    Main Question:
    Anyway,,, I want to copy the Disk Utility Log from my Recovery HD so I could see exactly what was repaired and report it to Icy Dock. But I am not sure if the log files are saved or not when rebooting from Recovery HD. Not sure how I could find the log file at this point. Are logfiles saved when running DiskUtility from the Recovery HD???
    Sorry for the length.

    Oh crap. The enclosure was working properly, now it's exhibiting the same problem as before and I haven't even rebooted the computer yet. So, what's up?

  • How do I save a file on disk as an .html file?

    I would like to save a MS Excel file in an .html or .jpg format so I can send it on to someone. I'm not sure how to do this. I know I have to post it to the Internet, but I'm stuck there. Can you help me?
    Thank you

    Kev,
    The File > Save... dialog seems to be only available for documents that are in an "unversioned" state. (I don't know what the official title is for the condition of having a document that is unmodified from its initial naming, so I'll call it "unversioned", meaning that it hasn't had a version update to it's base state.
    If you start from a template your first save will be a File > Save... Right after this first Save, your document has no Version History. It's "unversioned".
    If you File > Duplicate you have created a new document in an "unversioned" state and your next Command-S will give you the option to save a copy to '08 format, the same option you had during your first document save.
    My understanding of this situation is that any file with a Version History is stored across two files, one with the base document and one containing the revisions, the changes you've made since the initial save. Save a Version updates the file containing the changes. File > Duplicate combines the base file and the revisions into one new base document, ready to be Saved. After saving, if you make some changes in this new document your option is again to Save a Version or Duplicate and the cycle continues.
    There are also Revert options that I haven't discussed, but I haven't studied them to know what the menu behavior is.
    I know it can seem confusing and I'm not defending it, but I will recognize Apple's right to try to move the technology forward and I accept that I can learn what's going on and move with them, or I can get off the bus and watch it go down the road without me. It's not the first time I've had to try to figure out what's going on, and I'm sure it won't be the last. If you think I have the logic wrong I'd love to discuss your observations. I'm not interested in discussing if Apple should be doing this or not.

  • How to "save encrypted files to disk" in Safari

    I'm trying to use a web-based case management database software based on Access through a Portal managed by Venture Technologies and using Citrix. I can go to the portal home page but the login procedure isn't working properly.
    The company (Venture) isn't used to Macs. Based on their experience with Internet Explorer they suggest I might need to change a setting in Safari to allow "saving encrypted pages to disk". In non-Mac Explorer this setting is under Tools. I can't find such a setting either in Mac Explorer, Safari, or Firefox. Is there such a setting in Safari?
    I'm using 10.4.8 and Safari 2.0.4 and the latest Citrix for the Mac.

    Word recognizes almost all .rtf and .txt files I throw at it.
    Perhaps since Word is not an Apple product, you should post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products:

  • Downloading: "Open With" saves file to disk

    For most file types, my setting under Applications is "Always ask." In the selection window ("You have chosen to open..."), selecting the "Open with" button does open the file in the default program, but it also saves the file to disk. I don't want the latter -- I'll use the "Save File" button if I want to keep the file.
    This only happens on my Mac (OS X 10.6.8), not on Linux (Fedora 15). I thought this might be a Mac setting, but it doesn't happen with any other browser (including SeaMonkey). It's been going on for a year -- i.e., is not a Firefox 8 issue.
    I disabled all the extensions and that was no help. It's probably a simple setting, but I'm stumped. Thanks!

  • Saving .ATT files to disk instead of emailing them?

    In using Captivate 5.5 for reporting quiz results, the Help PDF states under "Specify e-mail preferences":
    4.  Specify whether the CSV content must be sent in the body of the e-mail, or as an attachment. The CSV content can be sent as an attachment only over Internet Explorer. 
    Note: The CSV content is sent as an attachment with the .att extension. Rename the file to a .csv extension and open it in Microsoft Excel.
    We are using Kronos that needs the CSV output to a file system location, not sent as an email.
    Can you save .ATT files to disk instead of emailing them??
    Thank you.

    Hello jckrueger,
    It is unclear as to the type of disk you would like to save incoming faxes to, however you can send incoming faxes (or scanned documents) directly to email or a network folder with your imageCLASS D1370.
    Here are the steps for your reference to forward faxes to email or a file server:
    NOTE:  When a fax document is transferred to an email or a file server, the document is converted to a PDF file.
    Setting Document Transfer (Automatic Forwarding):
    This allows you to specify whether a document is automatically transferred during receiving and where to be transferred.
    NOTE:
    Destinations that can be specified:
    You can specify the followings as destinations.
    - Fax
    - E-mail (D1370 only)
    - File server (D1370 only)
    - Group destination
    1. Press (Menu).
    2. Select <System Settings> using [^] or [v] and press [OK].
    3. Select <Forwarding Settings> using [^] or [v] and press [OK].
    4. Select <Off> or <On> using [^] or [v] and press [OK].
    <On> Starts to transfer received documents. Next, you need to configure transfer destinations.
    <Off> Transfer is not performed.
    When <On> is selected:
    You can specify where to forward. You can specify only by the following approaches:
    "Specifying destinations using one-touch keys"
    "Specifying destinations using coded dial codes"
    "Specifying destinations using the address book"
    5. Press (Menu) to close the menu screen.

  • Can't save modified file to a folder in an image disk directly

    I have an image disk on an external drive (firewire) and if I try to save a modified file of an existing file or do a "save as" to a folder, I'm always sent to the root directly of the finder and I have to navigate myself all the way back to the destination folder, every time. MS Word is even worse. I get a message that I have the wrong path and then it sends me back to the root directory. When I get back to the destination folder, MS Word accepts it but shows the message again, anyway. This doesn't happen if I save to the image disk directly and not go into a folder.

    HI Owen,
    Perhaps your Quicken preference files are corrupted, it's not bad, and an easy fix. Locate this file or one that is similar: com.quicken.plist It should be here; MacintoshHD/Users/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It's ok to trash a pref file, your Mac will create a new one for you.
    Also, here's the link to the Quicken forums; http://www.quickencommunity.com/

    How to save iPhoto file in a separate portable hard disk drive?

    You want to move the iPhoto Library?
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Firefox keep asking to open or save pdf files which are already in my disk.

    Hi all,
    Firefox build in function to open pdf files was working ok.
    Lately when i try to open a .PDF file which is already in my disk i get a window asking me :
    "What should firefox do with this file?
    -Open with (firefox default)
    -Save the file"
    Since the .PDF is already in my disk , i want to open it but firefox keeps asking in that window so i have to cancel and a new blank tab stays there.
    What should i do to open the .PDF file?
    BTW,i tried to delete the mimetypes.rdf file as read on a message here in order to Reset download actions but in vain.

    Hi cor-el,
    I used your suggestions and i have the below results:
    1.
    "''You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications''"
    This is not satisfactory because i don't want to use it.I just want the internal viewer for PDF's of Firefox.
    2.
    ''"You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer."''
    I set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true and after firefox restart it kept opening empty tabs (weird)
    3.
    ''"You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu."''
    I did that and just keeps me asking in new tabs what to do with pdf (open or save)
    Then i thought maybe another addon conflicted with firefox PDF viewer so i started it in safe mode.Tried to open a pdf and started to open empty tabs...
    Finally i installed [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/pdfjs/ this] addon and pdf open ok now.
    Still i had to use an addon to make them open.
    It was running correctly with out add on.
    Is there something else to try since i dont want addon?
    Firefox pdf internal viewer was very satisfactory for me...
