Default Can't save movies from websites


Everytime I attempt to save a movie from a website by
clicking "save target as" it is downloading the file as a
document. The same thing happens when I try to stream the
file, a page opens with gibberish. I have found that I can
stream only by entering the url address in Windows Media
Player. I'm just trying to save WMV and MPEG to my hard
drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

They're streaming movies, so they are supposed to work by opening your Media
Player and playing the movie 'live'. They are not designed to be right
clicked on!

Occasionally they can be found in the Temporary Internet Files folder if you
then want to copy and paste them out of there to your own videos folder.
