How to save video to disk?

Does anybody know a site with the animation video in file form? I want to copy it to my Pocket PC so I can show it to my coworkers, but when I try "Save Target As..." on Cedarpoint.com or Virtual Midway, I get the HTML file and not the movie.

Don't know what to tell ya. I have the Quicktime Vid saved on my hardrive by using save target as.

Quicktime here too. I don't know anything about Pocket PCs... can you not install Quicktime on that? I think if you select the Windows Media format, depending on how you have it set up, you have to click on it to play it and have to load the entire file. After the entire file has been either played or loaded, it should be somewhere stored as a temp file in your Internet cache directory or where ever you store internet temp files. Not too sure though, but I'd bet it is something like that.

Here's what you do to download the video...

Open up the link and it'll say 'If this dosn't work open in outside player'. Right click then copy the link. Then open a SIMPLE word processing program like Notepad. Then do this simple HTML. Do a href= Add text like DRAGSTER MOVE then /a. Then close the a href and link in brackets and /a in brackets. Thats it!

It's even easier than that. Just right-click on the "click here" link and select "save as".

It didn't work for him though. BUT if you want to download the construction one from CP, you have to do it my way.

He's right-clicking in the wrong place.

If you click on one of the videos, you get a popup where the video begins to play:

Below the video, it says "If you have trouble with the video click here to launch in stand-alone player." If you right-click on that "click here" link, you'll be able to 'save as'.

If you have QT Pro you can use the QT menu to save, otherwise open up your browser cache and you'll find it there. Just sort by file type and zip on down to the movies.

I had no problem at all getting the videos onto my hard drive.

Yep. I thought that the quality was pretty bad. I thought that I had downloaded the lower quality one.

I was disappointed with the quality of the video, especially compared to the video they had with Millennium Force.

Coincidence?

Yes, the QT quality was very sad, and not representative of what the format is capable of.

Thank you to all who responded - I have the file on my Pocket PC now, but the Media Player file doesn't play very well on there. I'll have to try a different player or try the Quicktime version. At least I know how to transfer those Media files to my Pocket PC now.

Yes, Jeff. I can attest to that. Even the Hi-Res QT version's quality sucked @ss!!!!

The quality of the animation looks much, much better on the disk in the media pack.
