Can't copy to TIF

[Pete]

I was trying to see if I could copy (or move) a file to temp int files
(TIF), and windows won't let me (the copy or move button goes gray). It is
a backup of a video in there, in case I deleted it when dumping cache.

So how do you do this or is it impossible (i.e. it is a system thing), and
if I lose the video in TIF am I out of luck. It took forever to play it
with my dial up. So do I have to go out of my way to dump cache manually
and leave the file, or is there a way of copying files to TIF.
Thanks...Pete

Hi Pete,

Files in the TIF folder are periodically deleted automatically as new
information comes in. You wouldn't want to use this as a place to store a
file. These are system folders, part of Internet Explorer, and you shouldn't
be trying to write to them directly anyways.

Rick...I thought the TIF's were only deleted and replaced (oldest ones go
first) when you hit your megabyte limit set for the TIF store, or a later
file replaced an older one. So if what I just said is true (and I will
never get near the limit since I don't use IE much, plus I would dump
periodically), does this mean I have to be careful not to delete that file
(I need it in order to play a video on a site), because once its gone I'm
out of luck. Like I said I have dial up and I can't watch the video in real
time..Pete

Hi Pete,

If it's the full file, then just place it elsewhere and you should be able
to watch it anytime you please without a 'net connection. If you are unable
to play it without being connected, then you do not have the full file but
rather a stub.

Rick... I cannot play it without a connection to the site it came from (ie
the site gets it from the TIF when I play it at the site). So I guess its a
stub. It does not have a .mpeg extension (it has no extension). It's
called "get_video[1]". So I guess I will just have to make sure I leave it
in TIF, right? ....Pete

Are you using any media application such as Media Player to view it?
If you are, once it's loaded in MP all you need to do is click on the Menu
bar File > Save As, select a folder and save it.
You should then be able to view it at leisure whenever you wish.

Brian...I already tried to open it with WMP (thats the first thing I did),
and it says its not compatible. First it says it doesn't like the extension
(there is no extension). Then when I click try to open it anyway, it says
it can not support the file type, or cannot support the codec used to
compress it (close enough). So am I am right in what I said - I have to
make sure to leave it in TIF, in order to play it from the site...Pete

Could you supply the site URL that has the media, as long as it isn't
graphically clean in the public eye. Many sites as such have predators
waiting in the wing ready to pounce, which I don't feel up to fighting
with.

Hi Pete,

Yes, it's a stub. That's not unusual for streaming media. Instead of
clicking on the link, you might try a right-click/"save target as" to
download the file.

Pete,

Is that the PVP video? Even so if it is, from what I see the Macromedia
Flash Player is embedded on the page. You should be able to save the .html
page that has the video to any folder using Save Target As. Once saved you
can move it anywhere you wish. One issue I see is that when you double
click the .html to open the page is IE has many elements blocked by
security settings. If you want to view the page you will either have to
alter your settings and/or allow what is being blocked by IE.

The video itself has a permalink to

which I believe is also embedded.

There's most likely copywrite legalities, yet perhaps if you contacted the
author some arrangement could be made. On the right side of the video
where he has About Me, scroll to the bottom of it and click the link View
My Complete Profile where he has an email contact. Worth a shot.

Anyways, if you would like to save the page.
Below the video you'll see: posted by Dr. Fernando Gómez Sancha, M.D. @
5:15 PM
Right click on the time and select Save Target As.
Browse to the folder of your choice and save it.
Once saved if you double click on it the page will open, of course you will
have to be connected, and IE will be blocking elements unless you've
already changed the settings.

Sorry Brian...I don't understand everything you just said. It is the PVP
video, and if click it on it goes to the youtube.com site you mentioned
(permalink), and to the right of that there is some videos that you can
right click and "save target as", but all it saves is the web page. I want
to save the video to my hard drive and be able to play it in WMP, without
being on line. I still don't see a way of doing it. What good would it do
to save the html page that has the video (like you mention above). If you
are sick of this we can quit. I just don't see how to do what I want to do
and don't think it's possible. Thanks...Pete

 

[Brian A.]

The best I can suggest is a web search. Type or copy/paste into the search
box:

save web .swf files to computer ( showed over 500,00 hits for me )

If that doesn't get enough hits change the search words to anything you
think comparable to what you want.
