Downlaod Video Clips on my Mac?

Now that they have the Quicktime clips I would like to have them on my Mac to watch. I was able to get the Windows Media Player versions on my PC when they first were posted.
Anyone do this with OSX or 9.2?
Thanks

Yeah it was simple. Just wait until the clip has finished loading, then click the little downwards arrow at the bottom right and choose "Save as Source".

Thanks BP...did what you said but "Save as Source" was not enabled??? This used to be easy so could have to do with the most recent version of QT?

you need to look in your temporary internet files or your internet cache file. look for whatever video you were looking at - it should be 'moneywork_med' or 'pushpull_big', something like that and drag them to your desktop.
then, you need to highlight them one at a time, then go Apple-i. a little properties window opens. where it says 'open with' you click on the little arrowhead, it opens and it should ask you which application you want it to open with, obviously choose quicktime.
it might ask you to open 'all files with this application in future?', well that's your choice.
enjoy!

Thanks milty...but thats what I thought but when I go to temp or cache...its not there even though I have my pref set to record to cache...there are a bunch of dat files that are all the same length so is something they have done to prevent this...or am I losing my grip on reality...

now you've lost me. are you running OS X cuz if you are you can search in the hard disk search window under temporary files, it's easier if you are using Explorer and not Safari. i prefer Safari but NPGMC was created to be used with Explorer.
anyway, do a search and hopefully you should find it.
