Daniel,
it seems to be working perfectly with VLC.
Thanks a bunch!
I used the direct instructions from this page:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2004110413302786
"Use the Open Network menu option from the File menu.
What is new (and really works) is that you can now
handle any type of video stream (including Real). I
discovered the best solution is to save the stream as
'raw' uncompressed data. So in VLC, choose Open Network,
and paste your MMS (RSTP with Real) link in the
appropriate field. Next, check Advanced Output and click
Settings. From there, choose File (use Browse to create
a new file) and check the "Dump raw input" button. You
must also choose Raw in the Incapsulation Method option
(not sure here). Click OK, and you're back to the Open
Network dialog window. When you click OK again, VLC will
start downloading the stream and recording it to you
file.
Acording to the stream format, you must, once
downloaded, add the right extension to the raw file in
order to open it in the right player. So, if you
recorded a WMP stream, give the file a .wmv extension,
and view it with Windows Media Player.
With these instructions, you should be able to record
any video stream"
One more question, Daniel:
How did you find out the actual path to the asf file?
I coudn't find it via the "view source" option.
Have you used something like Fiddler to find out?
Hi Roy,
when streaming from Microsoft Media Server you get an
ASX file, which is a XML file with a schema(usually this
file isn't with the ASX extension because it dynamically
created).
once you viewed the source and downloaded this file
using your favorite download accelerator.
open it with notepad to get the list of files streamed
from the server (in your case only one).
regards,
Daniel.
Seriously dude, You are an MVP.
You do so much for them.....
Make them send you the WMV file....
how hard can it be ?
