Saving Quicktime Trailers from Apple

"how do i get rid of the quicktime icon in my taskbar?"

Seriously? By task bar, I do you mean Dock? If so, just drag the icon off the dock and release. Poof! it disappears (literally...).

how do i get rid of the quicktime icon in my taskbar?

Why do you need to save the Trailers from Apple anyways? It's just a Trailer.

Anyone tried this?

Just make the url into an html link, place in a text file- save as test.html - and open in your browser, right click on the link and goto save as or save target as. Easy said and done!

Instead of waiting for the file to be downloaded on Quicktime, you can get the url from the file info (apple+i), then use the command "curl" to download the trailer. Just type "curl -o " on the terminal and voilá, a faster way to get the trailer.

Nathan,
You are awesome. You deserve a star! Thanks!

a side question...

how does one copy a quicktime stream... let's say the latest apple event?

Manyhighways thank you for the tip, Ive always hated the way Apple crippled QT, your lil tip worked a treat.

Thanks again

Gareth

I use Adblock Plus in firefox, so I just click the "Adblock" icon next the the video and drag the URL to the download box.
