Simply run a search for say files created that day. In my case there was a 15.8 meg file in the 'Temporary Items' folder called 'QTPlugin312894' or something. I then moved that file to the desktop and renamed it lordoftherings.mov, ie just rename it with a '.mov' suffix and you should be able to run it. If you're on a PC it's probably called something a little different, but still shouldn't be hard to find.

Only got a chance to look at it once, but was very impressed. Loved the look of the Orcs running through Mordor, and the Nazgul riding through the forest - goosebump central! I guess that was Boromir handling the Ring - I guess they have to highlight his desire for it somehow, rather more strongly than it is in the book. Have to go back and look at it some more.
