I downloaded a few movies from starwars.com but when i was going to play them i got an error and got redirected to the site. It seems like a protection to prevent people from saving them to their hard drive's.

If you want to check that for yourself try this:

download: "hxxp://starwars.apple.com/ep2/making_of/x-ep2-hwga_240.mov"
view: "hxxp://www.starwars.com/exclusive/making/video_1_1.html"

Is there anyway to unprotect or get this mov's to play in my hard drive?

I tryed to convert them with radtools but didn't work.

You can try going to http://forums.3ivx.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/topic.cgi?forum=5&topic=2 and giving that a shot - if you have a mac or linux box.
