[IAEP] Hi Again Mac Folks... Need your help Playing: The Forbidden Education - New Argentinian movie about Education

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hello Mac Experts! Yes, it's me again....
Thanks to Bert and Paolo and some others of you, I have successfully downloaded both the movie and the subtitles. But, I am running Mac OS 10.7.4. When I click on the movie, it opens Parallels and tries to run it in Windows.  I can use a converter to change it all to a Quicktime movie, however I want to be able to include the English subtitles when it plays. How do I insure that this will work? Right now I have them safely sitting in a file folder on my desktop, waiting for converting to whatever they need to be to work.
And, looking farther afield... is there a way to put the movie and English subtitles on a DVD in a form that will play on a normal  DVD player? How about the optical drive on a Mac? 
Thanks,Caryl

I have succeeded in downloading the English subtitles, but can't seem to get the actual movie to download in a savable form. I can click on the link and play it, but when I try to do a CTRL-Click and choose "Download link as..." it only downloads a tiny html file... not the movie. Obviously I am doing something very wrong!

Any further suggestions you folks may have would be appreciated. I have today and tomorrow to complete the download.
