Hacker's Guide to QuickTime

A little hacking can get fun, as our friends at hack a day know all too well. When you combine hacking with Quicktime things get interesting (of course interesting things happen when you combine darn near anything with Quicktime).

Unlike those nefarious black hat hackers out there Michael A. Lowry doesn't want you to hack Quicktime without regard for the law, in fact he says, 'Lest it be thought that I am encouraging anything improper, let me take a moment to make my intentions perfectly clear. Authors should have control over distribution of their work. Copyright law has respected and even expanded these rights over the past two centuries. However, the Fair Use rights of the public must also be upheld.  QuickTime's copy protection mechanisms function to discourage and prevent people from exercising their Fair Use rights.'

This guide will show you how to save QT movies from the web without QT Pro, how to find the URL's of QT movies, and a bunch of other things.

I should point out that TUAW doesn't condone illegally downloading copyrighted materials. Now if you'll excuse me I have an episode of 'Battlestar Galatica' to finish download...er taping.
