Downloading off streaming link
« on: May 31, 2007, 10:48:39 AM »
Because this link doesn't have a standard .end (.mov, etc.), I can't 'save' it in the ways I know how.
Any ideas?
I would like to save it for my own use if possible.

Hi elizabeth,

There are ways of 'keeping' streaming links/content, but last time I remember thinking 'i'd like to keep that' the solutions were to use separate software to 'capture' the link/content and then 'transfer/re encode' into a known format i.e .mpeg or .mov or whatever.

Far too much hassle for capturing so I just left it.

this was around 8-12 months ago so maybe there's newer products that can do it all in one step, i'm not sure.

possibly may be other methods as well but I dont know of any at the moment...

Yes, there are utility programs which will let you do that.  I have one which will let me capture the audio from a streaming Real Audio file and save it as WAV, for example.   

It will all depend upon the formats.

it's the link for the news clip I'm in, which will only be up on the ITV site for a week:

and I just want to keep it for myself!
