Chris, great tip. Thanks.

Just tried it with a Youtube movie about steve irwin (http:// 
youtube.com/watch?v=5MppLxCVr9k)

When I found the largest file and double-clicked, it downloaded the  
file automatically.

The file was a ".flv" file that quicktime (not the "pro") would not  
play. Safari could not play it either.

Any hint what will?

Lee

I've read that it is easiest in Safari... with the video in the front  
window, choose Window and Activity... then look for the largest file  
size, double-click it, and then choose File and Save As to name it  
and watch it later.

The same works for YouTube and other Flash video sites.

Chris
