Need a free video to convince a DGI?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

If you need a video by credible source to convince a loved one of the seriousness of Y2K, show them this video. It's a speech by Senator Bob Bennett of Utah that he gave to the National Press Club on July 15, 1998:

RealPlayer required.

Anyone know how to save this file to disk after accessing it? I'd like to use my laptop to play this for people who don't have access to the 'net. I have the RealAudio Player/Viewer but there's no "save" option under "File".

Thanks.

Btw Kevin .. I didn't mean to forget to say this...

"Thanks" for the link.

It's one more tool in the "convincer" kit that I'll use on the DGI folks.

Dan - Instead of clicking on the link as usual, try right-clicking on the link. The pop-up menu should appear that offers "Save Link As..." (under Netscape - something similar under IE). This should give you the option to save to disk

Just saving the link saves a pointer file leading to the file. Try this one, but ONLY if you have RealPlayer installed already, as this is where that link redirects you to...

Try right-clicking and doing the 'save to disk' thing on it.

OddOne .. thanks for the attempt. Still no-go, at least here. It saved a link again. Would sure be nice to be able to capture and save the file for show-and-tell at some of the upcoming meetings where I'm scheduled to speak. I taped it on a cassette which although lacking the video portion, is an acceptable (albeit poor) second.

After 23 years in this computer zoo .. I'm stumped. Anyone out there that's super-familiar with RealAudio? I'd sure love to capture the entire audio/video file to disk here. Ideas anyone?

Thanks.
