What I do is after the movie completely loads, with the page still 
open, switch to the finder and search for an invisible file called 
"QTPluginTemp".  Move it to the desktop and rename it with a .mov 
extension.  You're done.  This works in Camino and Safari.  This is a 
simple way to do the same thing that the MacOSX Hints link reported 
earlier does.
