Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / July 2008Saving a video clip- a newbie question??
Sometimes when I play a video clip from the net I have the option to "Save As", and sometimes the option is not available. Is this something I can change, or work around. Mostly silly, short clips, but I would like to save them to my hard drive. Thanks >Sometimes when I play a video clip from the net I have the option to "Save >As", and sometimes the option is not available. >Is this something I can change, or work around. >Mostly silly, short clips, but I would like to save them to my hard drive. The free version of Real Player 11 http://uk.real.com/player/win/ (on the right of that screen) has a much better in-place "Download Video" button which is added to web pages as they load. The only minor disappointment is there don't currently seem to be editing tools for the video format used, which is OK if all you want to do is play them back later for laughs.

I already have Real Player11 and it works fine. But the clips I'm talking about are from newsgroups and have a *wmv* extension, so they automatically open in Media Player. Again, thanks. > >Sometimes when I play a video clip from the net I have the option to "Save > >As", and sometimes the option is not available.
