1. Go to Download
Exam Movies Page...
From any page that has 'SECTIONS'
and the movies that go along with those sections: i.e. Mental
Status>Abnormal, Cranial
Nerve >Anatomy, etc. Find the 
button
located next to the movie icon. Click this button to go directly
to that movie's entry on the Download Exam Movies page.
2. Follow the On-screen Instructions...
As the Download Exam
Movies page
loads in the background, an interrupt message appears asking if you already have a password to unlock the zipped movie files, since these files are password protected. We
do want to encourage you to re-use our movies in other teaching materials for
appropriate non-commercial, educational use. However, to honor the invaluable
contributions and generosity of the many patients who appear in our movies, we ask you to fill out a request form (see the "Request Password" link at the bottom of this page) that tells us a little about who you are and how you will re-use the movie clips.
When the request is approved, you will receive an e-mail with the password to unlock the zipped movie files.
3. Download Zipped
Movies...
On the Download Exam Movies page,
locate the title of the movie (or batch of movies) you wish to download
and click the button next to that title.
What happens next will depend on several factors: which browser
you’re using, how that browser handles .zip files, and how
your computer is set up to handle downloads, as well as other factors.
Follow the instructions, if any, to choose a location and save the
.zip file that is being downloaded to your local hard drive. If
there are no instructions, look for the file on the Desktop or in
a ‘DOWNLOADS’ folder on your hard drive once the download
is complete.
4. Extract
Zipped Movies...
Now that you have the .zip file on your local
drive, you will need a software program that allows you to open
.zip archives. If you don’t already have a program, you
can download for FREE one called StuffIt Expander from SmithMicro using the links listed below. Be sure and download SmithMicro's FREE version of StuffIt Expander. You do not need to purchase their full StuffIt suite of software...
Expander
for Windows
Expander for Mac
When you use one of these "unzip" utilities
to extract the .zip archive and save the movie(s), a dialog box appears, asking you to enter
the password. Once you enter a password and save the movie file,
you can play the clip directly from your local hard drive and re-use the
movie in lectures, PowerPoint or Keynote presentations, quizzes, exams,
problem-based learning cases, multimedia learning objects, or websites. Movies
that you re-use in your own applications do not have to be password protected;
they can be open to students worldwide. Click on this link to read the specific re-use guidelines.

-First, launch your unzipping utility (such as the free StuffIt Expander for Win or StuffIt Expander for Mac).
-Second, from your unzipping utility, point to the movie you downloaded.
