I'm trying to download some Quicktime movies that are not supposed to be downloaded. They're on this website:



http://viscog.beckman.uiuc.edu/djs_lab/demos.html



The specific ones I need are "Change blindness examples," under "Gradual changes to scenes." I need all 7 of them.



My excuse: I had wanted to use them for a presentation on Monday, and when I viewed them a few weeks ago, I assumed they were downloadable but it turns out they're not. I can't access the internet from where I'll be. Anyone know how to grab 'em, or have any other suggestions? I've been trying all day today.



They're pretty cool - check them out even if you don't know how to download them.



Feel free to move or lock at will.

    Why not just purchase the disk and have them FedEx it?



    I haven't gotten past the red bolded letters yet to look at what they are . . . but they sure seem to know that people want to copy these images . . .



    anyway . . . I'll take a look now and shut me semi intoxed self up . . .

    The only thing that I can think of is that you can use a video camera on a Flat screen monitor, or, SNAX or some other screen capture . . . however, I think that since your reasons are legit there is an email address and Im sure that you could get an FTP address from this guy or he could just send you copies pronto





    The other alternative< and I would probably just do this, is to make very similar versions yourself and say that you are paraphrasing

    usually you can just get the path from the source, but it looks like they are getting it with javascript.

    just grab them from your cache file and add a .mov on the end of them.



    pretty straight forward.



    First movie

    I dug around in my cache and got the url. Of course, I haven't downloaded them yet.... Easy enough.



    edit: BRussell, check your PM.

    i didn't grab the url, the entire movie was in the cache. i just took the file (find a file the right size, sort by date) and add a .mov to the end.



    if you've played them all, it should be a 5 min. process.



    make sure to have quicktime same them to cache though.
