I would like to download some videos from ifilm for offline viewing. The
200k versions are free to view online but I don't know how to save them
offline. I've tried it with Quicktime and Windows Media format and
checked all temp files on my drive, but couldn't find them. I also tried
using Hi Download and Stream Down (not freeware but great program) but
these don't work. How can I get the URL that the Javascript window is
popping up so I can feed that into a program? Here's an example of a
film I would like for offline viewing:
http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2655656

Here's the 200k link that you click on for online viewing:
javascript:playVideo(2655656,200,'no','',1,'');

Is there a way to piece the two together?

Thanks!

Click to expand...

You need to find the *actual* link to the video that you are watching.

Select the Windows Media format, and when the video starts to stream, right
click and select properties.

This will give you an actual location of the video that is being streamed.
Copy and paste this link into Stream Down, and this will save to your hard
disk.
