Applications used in this demo

- Firefox 3.0
- Quicktime 7.5

Quicktime is a great free application if you’re not interested in coughing up $30 for Quicktime Pro. The main feature Pro gives you is the ability to easily download Quicktime movies from the internet but there is a way around this for the frugal.

To download a movie you’ll need it’s full address such as
http://www.seanray.com/movies/pikecountybreakdown.mov

Once you have entered this address into Firefox and allowed the video to load (wait for the grey progress bar to turn completely grey) select “Save Page As….” from Firefox’s “File” menu.

In the Save As window that will appear choose the destination where you would like to save the file and click save.

Now the movie will be stored on your hard drive and open with either version of Quicktime.
