Anyone know where and how to get high quality videos of pro golf

but I'd like to save them to my computer. Anybody know how to do this?

To save videos it all depends on how they are posted. If you point to
the link and in the status bar you see it's an MPG, AVI, or WMV file,
that means the link points directly to the video file. In that case,
just right click on the link and click on "Save Target As" or however
your browser words it.

If it's an ASX file it's a little more involed. Save the ASX file as
above, then view it in a text editor. It will tell you the path of the
video, which you can copy/paste into your browser. ASX files are
basically pointers to video files.

If it'a a quicktime MOV file you need the "PRO" version of the player
to save directly from it. But there's another way...

In the example above, do a "View source" on the web page, and search
for .MOV (dot MOV)... This will tell you the path of the video.

So for the Jay Haas video, the path of the HTML file is

http://www.golfswing.com/proswings/haas.htm

The path to the mov file is

.../Assets/quicktimeproswings/haas.mov

So the file is located at

http://www.golfswing.com/Assets/quicktimeproswings/haas.mov

Depending on how your browser is set up, if you paste that address into
your browser it may just load the file into the browser without asking
you to save it. In that case, you need to create an HTML file with a
link to the MOV, open it in your browser, and right click to save it.
Here's a VERY simple HTML file to do this... replace the HREF parameter
with the proper path to the movie
