Ok guys and gals, I need some help from the braniacs out there. I just joined an adult site that is fairly new. I have decided to not mention the name, because I don't want to get in trouble for what I personally think is my right seeing as how I just plunked down my cash for membership. So here is the deal, said site did not mention the fact that they don't have downloads. When I click on the video, what happens is I'm automatically taken to an embedded streaming file. As the subject says, I'm running Safari as I have a MacBook Pro with the Tiger OS X. I tried pulling up the activities menu in an attempt to find the file, but the largest file it list is the gif surrounding the player. Can someone please help me. As I said, I'm not trying to pull a fast one, but as I've paid for the site, I'd like to download the videos. Thanks a million.

Do you know what the format of the actual video is? (flash, etc)

When I check the Activity window, no file is in the MB range, but it indicates that it is a .swf file.

So this will totally give away the website, but here is a grab of the proper field in my Activity window:

http://www.(siteinquestion).com/members/css/lightbox.css
http://www.(siteinquestion).com/members/css/styles_strict.css
http://www.(siteinquestion).com/members/FLVPlayer_Streaming.swf
http://www.(siteinquestion).com/members/Halo_Skin_3.swf

http://www.(siteinquestion).com/members/scripts/scriptaculous?load=effects
http://www.(siteinquestion).com/members/video.php?id=42&fid=56&girl_id=6230&quality=high
So, none of those take up particularly large amounts of space. The .jpg and .gif files are the largest. I think the pertinent piece of info from the page would be the 5th one, the .swf file. It, however, only shows 11.5 kb being used (maybe because of the streaming).
I followed the page conquistador posted and got this far. I double click on that 5th line which opens another window and nothing.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Ok, more info.
I double-click and hold option, a Real file downloads, but as I mentioned before, it only shows 11.5 kb. Dropping this downloaded file indicates on the player 54-- minutes, so it reads that the whole clip should be that long, but when I drop the file the Real Player displays a message that says: A general error has occurred.

SWF is the video player, not the video file. Do you have something on your system to play Real Networks video files? (I don't on my computers.)

I had the same problem with a site that uses only FLV streams, I bought Replay Media Catcher and it download the movies to your harddrive with no problem. You might want to look into that.

I do have a RealPlayer as I ran into a situation where I needed one before.
I'll look into that program, Ramsey.

Isn't it fairly common to emulate windows on a mac?

It is, but you have to have the program which I currently don't. Unfortunately.
