my 2cent contribution for the skrip :

#!/bin/sh
echo $1 > temp
dump=`awk -F'/' '{ print $NF }' temp`
URL=`mplayer -v -frames 0 $@ |grep Filename|awk '{print
$6}'|tail -n 1`
mplayer -dumpstream $URL -dumpfile $dump

so the name of the movie is "the_name_of_the_movie.mov"
extracted from the URL. There should be more smarter way to
do this.... :-)
