Help unlocking a locked or unsaveable quicktime movie

Hi, I'm working a website for a client, and they want me to download a quicktime movie from their parent company. The quicktime seems to be locked or unsaveable, I can't right click on the file or do a save as or anything like I can normally do with my Quicktime Pro.

Is there a way around this? Is there any third party software that will capture the movie?

Thanks,

QT has the kioskmode tag that prevents the casual user from saving. It can also "hide" the QT controller that allows saving.
Look at the source code and paste that .mov URL into the Open URL feature of QT Player.

It sounds like they don't want you to have a "copy". Respect their rights.

Keep in mind that the web page can have allllllllll the coding in the world but it is up to the web browser whether or not to actually run any of the code...

Firefox menu > Preferences > Content > Enable Java / Enable Javascript > Advanced > Allow Scripts To --- uncheck "Disable or replace context menus."

Then go right-click wherever you want.
