Download a movie on the iTunes Music Store

File, Find

Date modified - Today

Visible Items - Invisible Items

Search local disk

QTpluginsomethingorother

Drag that file to your desktop

Rename it the name of the song.mov

You now have the quicktime video of what was on iTunes.

It pains me to say this, but thanks man.

I didn't see that other thread either, and now have a couple dozen large videos on my HD. Sweet.

Thanks for the clearer instructions too, Paul.

if yer a lazy bastard like me, use this:

Code:
set originalFile to do shell script "lsof -wa -Fn -c iTunes +D /tmp | grep -i QTP | head -1 | cut -c 2-" if length of originalFile is greater than 0 then set newFile to POSIX path of (choose file name default name "iTunes Video.mov") if length of newFile is greater than 0 then if newFile does not end with ".mov" then set newFile to newFile & ".mov" do shell script "/bin/cp -v '" & originalFile & "' '" & newFile & "'" do shell script "/Developer/Tools/ttt -t 'MooV' -c 'TVOD' '" & newFile & "' || true" end if else display dialog "No movie found. Please make sure that the movie is currently visible in iTunes." buttons {"OK"} default button "OK" end if
save as applescript app, run after the movie has completely loaded into itunes.
