Dave, I'm having the same problem with a movie I can see in QT in IE, can download in "Real" format, but can't find it in QT. Not having the $30 Quicktime "Pro" version causes the "Save as" to be grayed out, but I agree, it's got to be somewhere. Just wish I knew where. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
