I've been watching some cool streaming videos on the net and was wondering if it was possible to copy them over to my hard drive (I'm using QuickTime of course). Thanks!

I don't think there is a good solution to this. The only one I know of that would work reliably is if you have a PowerBook you can set the video to play on a TV screen then you could record it with a VCR.
I have seen people mention the idea of using a screen capture program and I haven't tried it but I am skeptical. I use one occasionally but I don't think it would work well to capture a movie. You also have the problem of capturing sound in sync with the screen capture.
Use Snapz Pro X with the built in Audio Capture, you'll need a speedy rig for the time being though, although moki put some videos up on his forum that showed a new version of Snapz he has in the works that get's 4-5 times the framerates!
I am experimenting with another technique. I play the movie on a PowerBook. I have QT Pro and I set the movie to present full screen on the second monitor. The second monitor is actually an S-video cable running to a Formac Studio which is connected to my G4.
It is kind of odd but I can see my PowerBook desktop show up as a window on the G4.
With this setup I will use Vidi to record the video as DV then compress it to a much smaller file with QT.
Really more of a science project than a convient method.
