I'll keep trying.
Just be certain that you're opening one random movie file first, keeping that file open while you open the movie you want to capture from.
If Quicktime doesn't work, though, you can try another player -- IrfanView with additional plug-ins installed might work.

You'll want to view the source of the page. I think the option's available in Internet Explorer by right-clicking in the page -- if not, look for View Source in one of the command menus (File, Edit, etc.)
Once in the source, do a search for the appropriate movie extension. (Just go ahead and use the text editor's Find or Search function -- or hit CTRL-F if that works.) Since it's Quicktime, you'll want to do a search for .mov. Type that into the box, hit "Find", and, normally, you should come across the entire link for the Quicktime movie you're looking for. (Though, in this source file, you'll only see "large.mov" instead of an entire link. That means that the Quicktime movie is in the same directory as the page.)
In the address bar, enter in the URL -- either copy and paste in normal situations, or in this situation, replace the name of the HTML file (in this case, large.html) with the name of the movie file (large.mov), since both files are in the same directory. Press Enter.
You'll either get a download prompt, or the movie will open in that browser window. If the movie opens in the Browser window, hit File > Save Page As... (or something like that) and you should be able to save the movie to whereever you want in your hard drive.

About the screen shot-
It's capturing half of the image? Is the rest of the image black with the movie off-center? I've tried to take screen shots of a DVD a long time ago (and I THINK I had a similar problem with Quicktime captures) and I had that happen. If it's the problem I'm talking about, then move the image around, and you'll notice the image from the video stays in place while the image it's supposed to be in is moving around. It's like the black area in the captured image is a hole straight through the image program to the movie you're capturing. It's weird, but I don't remember if I found a way around it. I also don't know if it's a Win98 thing or not. Now, I've had the black box pop up trying to capture from a divx movie file, but a short series of clicking the image program and then the movie player or something like that will make the actual image come up. I've also heard someone here mention turning off hardware enhancement to make the video capture correctly, but I don't know if this applies to Quicktime too.
About saving the video-
First, check your cache. DO NOT close the movie file out while you're checking- I've seen Quicktime files delete themselves after you close the window. If you don't know how to check your internet cache, then go to Documents and Settings.... then Local Settings, I think... then you find your name, then open that and there's a folder called Temporary Internet Files or something like that in there (I'd have to look at the folders on my computer, but I know one of them- probably Local Settings- is a hidden folder). Turn on "view hidden files and folders if you can't find one of the folders I mentioned (if you don't know how to do that either, let me know). Find the "large.mov" or whatever the file you want is called (while the movie still open, of course), and copy it out of that folder into any other folder or the desktop. It will probably make it easier for you to find if you arrange the window by Last Checked or something like that, and scroll to the bottom of the window. Make sure you check the file size- it could be a streaming video, but most of the time Quicktimes on the web are the actual video itself. The only video I tried to save that ended up being a streaming video was the Dawn of the Dead remake trailer... otherwise, I haven't had any trouble.
