Snag a WMV stream and Rec. it to HD

[KickF]

Snag a WMV stream and Rec. it to HD ... that is what I would like to do ... Is there a tool that can do this job ? I have trixed around littel with IE and found out where it puts the videostream on the HD ... C:\Documents and Settings\***USERNAME***\Lokale innstillinger\Temporary Internet Files\

Here the video is stored in a DAT file ... I'v tryed to playback the file WMP ... and other players but no luck .. so there seams to be more to it. so Anyone know of a tool that can Rec. a WMV 8/9 videostream to my HD ? I'v tryed a a tool called "WMV REC", but no luck there.

??? I'm taking about VIDEO ... not audio .. and I'm gona snag a VIDEO-STREAM and save it to my HD.

well I found a new version of the WM Recorder ... was usiing ver. 5.x ... and the new 9.x is better , but still with the new version you can't save video that is : Content protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM). :( :confused: so a other tool that can bypass this would come in help

oh sorry..... Bypassing the DRM MAY break the DMCA if you live in the USA so I can't help you there. If you search the forum you make find some stuff to help you.

He seems to be living in Norway. However, if you mean stream as in streaming, then I doubt you have an unlimited license for the content and removing the DRM would most likely end up in a copyright law violation and we can't help you with that.

Well it's legal , but then only is you use the copy for yourself and don't does any Warez with it ... Yes there is a copyright law thing there , but we all know CSS ... YES ... and most of us Know DeCSS YES :p and does't that do something that also can ask some questions about the Copyright law Violation ? :rolleyes: CSS was made for a reason ... and DVD Jon ( YES NORWEGIAN MAN :sly: ) has proven in the court of law here in norway that you can keep a copy to yourself as loong as you have the orginal ... and The Streaming Video I try to save to my HD is a short clip from the TV ( NRK ) and thats not even payTV .. so all the metarial they have shown on TV ( and much of it is on WEB ) is not payTV material and the reason That I would like to have this clip is that I would like to see it when I would like to and not DL it EVERY time I would like to see it. All I ask for is does anyone know of a tool that can help me out here ? then plz help ... and if you think that me trying to break this DRM on a streaming video is a problem that you maby should have CLOSED ALL POST ON CSS,DeCSS, and so on

I know of Net Transport (http://lycos26486.l97.lycos.com.cn), it works with many kinds of files including wmv and realvideo/realaudio.

Edit: It should be used for private use only (offline viewing basically).

Have you tried ASFRecorder? Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn´t...

[gabest]

Try asf2mkv (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/guliverkli/asf2mkv_20040112.zip?download).

Don't use asfrecorder, it's out of date.

Gabest: i was wondering this when i saw it released yesterday, asf2mkv actualy handles web streams? so i can point it at an mss:// stream?

[gabest]

Yes, anything what the windows media sounce filter can open. It just puts this filter into the graph and connects it to the matroska muxer and file writer, with a little forking for the preview.

:) i had no idea, i downloaded it a long time ago but only used it to convert a few asf files i had on my hd. Good to know it also supports mss streams. Although i run into those, erm, rarely :)
And a note, i had a messed up asf called tokyobreakfast.asf (easy to find via search engines) that would play very badly, don't know what kind of corruption it had, converted to mkv and voila it plays great. Thanks Gabest.

[BlindWanderer]

Does it handle password protected streams? just wondering, as people always ask for this sooner or later.

Hi Gabest,
I tried for instance to save this movie here:

mms://video.pinnaclesys.com/PBN/movies/liquid%20live.wmv

and then the asf2mkv only captures the lower res movie and
lower quality audio inside this WMV file.
When I stream the file via Mediaplayer9 I get full audio quality
and bigger screen size, so where can I change the capture
parameters with asf2mkv ?

Thanks !
Regards, harti.
