The toolbar: "File", "Save" or "Save as.....". But in some cases (like yours) when a site uses **streaming** video files like .avi I think it is, or maybe .wm, there is no "save as" place, it's grayed out. These are bit more of a challenge to save. So in those cases you have to try and right click the link and "Save target as...." for starters. Usually sites are insistent upon using these ridiculous Java popups to play video files, then you have to look at the source code in order to find the actual URL of the video file.
Where is the page you're speaking of? -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "rb47" Clint, I hate to ask you BUT WHERE are you talking about to "save" the audio-video clip that I am viewing??? I went to the site that my friend views clips from, and whether I choose to use media player or realplayer, when I right click on the video, I get nothing for saving what I am looking at. With windows media player, if I click on the file option in the top, the save and related options are greyed out, unlike the other options, which are black and you can click on them. This is a streaming audio-video presentation over the internet, so not sure if this has anything to do with the issue. I wish that things were as simple as right clicking and getting an option to save it it would seem. But I fhave not found a way as simple as you sugguested. Which is the reason for my posting.
