hi!

when trying to download a trailer f.i. from http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/scooby_doo_2/ the output of

[discostu]

http://www.digitaltutors.com/ (a website for Maya tutorial videos) has some free videos in .MOV format. First a short advertisement .MOV plays, then you're supposed to click on it and it goes to the tutorial .MOV video. It doesn't work with mplayerplug-in. On the page source there is an <embed> tag with src="../path/to/advertisement.mov" href="../path/to/maya/tutorial.mov". Sometimes the advertisment movie runs, other times it hangs at 97% or says stopped. I can download the advertisement with wget, but they use some fancy thing to block from downloading the tutorial.mov directly with wget (unless all of their links are broken, which I doubt since it's a professional site). I used to be able to use wget to get them, but not now. Anyway, does anybody no if this can work with mplayerplug-in? The gxine plugin doesn't work either. It says something about demuxer not found.

Thanks,
Stu
