You like Ralph Myerz, eh? I've been to their concerts a few times, awesome live. Care to interest you in an autographed CD?

Hmmm... I think I have this video on a promotional mini-CD, have to check that when I get home...

Trying to be tricky Hannah? (posting the same as his link, but telling him to hold option)

I just tried that, and it downloaded a 1kb 'referrer' file that points to the real movie.

Benign: FInd someone with Quicktime Pro. They can just load the movie, then click 'Save to Quicktime Movie'.

It's a 'REF' movie, points to another
file somewhere out there a'somewhere.

Almost there - just need that genius to
show me where I'm going wrong !

Nikita video

This is the site's REF link:
http://metroencoding.net/ref/emperor..._small-REF.mov

This is the real URL :
http://metroencoding.net/emperornort...x120_small.mov
Which downloads to disk fine...

Think-twice video

Now I am trying to find the real URL of
this movie - but have had no luck at all...

http://metroencoding.net/emperornort..._large-REF.mov
Changed the REF sections of the URL but
cannot find the real file.

the web page URL :
http://www.emperornorton.com/mod/art...st=ralph_myerz

It's a puzzle ;)

The file still will not save to disk -
Have you got it to work ?

Try using Fetch to download the QuickTime file to your computer.

I just clicked on your link, waited for the movie to load, and then clicked on the little triangle bit. Went to 'Save as Quicktime Movie' and it worked fine??

So do you already have it now? If not I can host it.
