Tiger Tips: Save Videos from iTMS using Automator

Apple-X.net has posted a good tutorial on how to bypass iTunes 4.8's inconvenient movie caching by using Automator. The resulting application is based on a tip that originated on MacOSXHints, which showed how to load the movie URL in Safari. At the bottom of the tutorial, you can download a copy of the complete Automator app.

I just tried it and it works as advertised. Don't forget to read the comments for suggested changes to the script if you want to be prompted for which size movie you want to download.
