    I'm quite dissapointed that this new ATOMFILMS problem has'nt been solved yet i tried so much s**t that my eyes are starting to hurt. This replay media catcher seems to be the only way for now.

    SOMEONE PLEASE HACK ATOMFILMS.COM PLEASE!!!!!!

    (and no the guide on page 1 does'nt work on atomfilms anymore btw!)

    Thanks greedyg. am happy that someone is trying. Actually this is pretty important for my presentation(Type 1 Restriction modification system as Molecular motor). If i can't get this video i will have to put several screenshots of this video but then it won't be that effective

    You'll need to get a program to download and save the file from the mms server. There are several programs for this.

    wget is a unix program ported to run on Windows that I think will do this for you. Availabe at

    http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm

    or

    http://xoomer.alice.it/hherold/

    From the command line type:
    Code:
    wget mms://global.stream.port.ac.uk/science/biology/nanonet/momol32-300.wmv
    Good luck.

    @Greedyg: Thanks buddy. Atleast you tried. I really appreciate that.

    @onefrom: I am using ubuntu as my operating system. When I gave the command you suggested, it said this:

    Code:
    mms://global.stream.port.ac.uk/science/biology/nanonet/momol32-300.wmv: Unsupported scheme.
    What should i try next?

    baccilus, I was able to get the file using Streambox. You can try and find the program or I can mail you the file if you send me your address. I'll give you a disposable address for me:

    streambox@mailinator.com

    OK, found another easy way to get the file. Get a copy of Hidownload at http://www.streamingstar.com/ You can use it as an evaluation copy. The program almost seems worth purchasing. Then in HiDownload go to File, Enter URL to Download:

    Code:
    mms://global.stream.port.ac.uk/science/biology/nanonet/momol32-300.wmv#0;1.000;0;0;1:2;7:2
    It will save the file to your hard drive.
