Anyone know how to "streamrip" a QuickTime file?

Anyone know how to "streamrip" a QuickTime MOV file to save it on a Windows machine?  I am trying to watch Steve Jobs' Keynote from Monday where he dropped the bomb, but at work my proxy isn't liking a QT stream through the standalone player and it won't open in iTunes.  If I watch a stream that is embedded in a browser, I can sometime save it after it caches, but this is set to only launch in the standalone player. 

Can anyone help me out?  Will any other players play a QT stream?


Here is the link to the source stream:

Thanks,

Scott

No, the file you want is this one:

You need a stream downloader. There have been some good threads with suggestions for this. Like this one.

most of those look like they are audio ones (will save that Streamripper for further use  )

Anything on video capture?  VLC seems to do it, but I will be damned if I can figure out how to do it through a firewall or proxy.

I was about to suggest mplayer, but it doesn't seem to be able to save a quicktime stream: neither your url, nor the one Mono gave. Works nicely with Real Media & Windows Media streams, though.
(I'm using MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.4.2, Windows version)

mplayer is a powerful and very light multimedia (audio & video) player with command-line interface.
For those who would like to try it, it works like this:
mplayer urlOfStream -dumpstream -dumfile dumpedStream.extension
If you go through a proxy, set http_proxy variable:
http_proxy=http://myproxy:9999/
Example with WMV (From a TV show called "zapping", daily best of French TV) :
mplayer mms://vipmms.canalplus.fr/canalplus/zapping_051014_a.wmv -dumpstream -dumpfile 14.wmv
(Web page here)

Gui is a separate program available here

About saving quicktime streams:
Maybe net transport can save a quicktime stream.
VLC: settings seem complicated, but maybe VLC can do it. Haven't had luck with setting of the proxy when I tried.

Edit: url of zapping wmv stream
