    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hello,

I often download videos on the internet and save them on my mac. I do this by opening the activity window and clicking on the "get-video" file or the large downloading file in the window. However, I have not been able lately to save some videos and this is driving me crazy! Most of these videos are in a file under a name like http:/proxy-04.nyc/dailymotion..... (etc), and when I click on them, all I get is another window opening up with Quicktime player instead of the usual direct download to my desktop.

If I wait for the video to completely download, then attempt to click the file, I get:

"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /video/855/887/12788558:mp4_h264_aac.mp4 on this server."


Anybody know what is happening?

Thanks so much for reading

Hmmm thanks. I am always a little uneasy about downloading new applications though. How can I be sure it is safe and won't wipe out my computer?
