there was a program to do it, but of course they got sued. however, it's easy to manually do what the program did. set the browser cache for at least several meg, watch the movie, then open the folder where the cache files are and look for the big one that's recent, chances are it's the movie, drag it out of the cache folder or make a copy of it and drag the copy out of the cache folder. works with most other silly attempts to restrict distribution too. it may not be in quicktime format, but the real player will play it, format conversion is another problem but shouldn't be too hard, it likely is a quicktime variant already. when someone talks about secure delivery systems for copyrighted material laugh in their face, there just is no way to make something both available and secure, especially on a computer, if it ever exist, however briefly, in usable form at your end then it's possible to copy it, period. the music on demand and other systems are silly for just this reason, the one-time real-time play is a figment of hollywood's and others imagination and boils down to techno-ignorance and self delusion.
