How Do I Get Movies Out of Internet Explorer?

Download videos from the Internet.

There are hundreds of different Internet sites with built-in videos on the site. These movies are typically small clips of a larger piece of work included on the site. While using just about any Internet browser (such as Internet Explorer) it is possible to download the movies directly from the site with just a few clicks of the mouse. Depending on the size of the video file, the movie may download in a matter of seconds.

Things You'll Need

• Internet Explorer

Instructions

1. Open up Internet Explorer and navigate to the site with the videos built into the site. Note that flash videos are not designed to download (found on sites such as Hulu and YouTube).

2. Right-click the movie icon. From the pull-down menu, select "Save Link As." A new "Save" window will appear on the screen.

3. Title the video and choose a location on the computer for saving. Click "OK" and the movie found on Internet Explorer will download directly to the computer.

4. Double-click the video file once it completes its download. The default media player (such as QuickTime or Windows Media Player) will now load onto the screen and begin playing the movie.
