Sure
Linux
mplayer
as in
mplayer -dumpstream my.avi
http://xxxx/yyy.avi
Then play it with
mplayer my.avi
Of cause you can also simply do:
wget
http://xxxx/yyy.avi
Quicktime may be a bit more involved, you could use
'view source' in the browser to see what the link is,
often it is not even quicktime, but simply mpeg.
May or may not work though.
For MS widows I dunno ;-)
