I really should know this, since my job is in video editing etc., but I don’t. I know how to encode video for streaming media, but not how to capture it. I really want to capture the clip in this thread before whoever takes it off his or her site.
I know it’s a streaming video file, but it has to exist as an .avi or .mpg or whatever somewhere. I could do a view source on the site and try and find the file, then snag it.
On Tuesday (Monday’s a holiday here - ha ha!) I’m going to fiddle with Adobe Premiere at work and see if I can capture it, but I’m not sure it’s possible. Any tips would be helpful.
I couldn’t get it to work, I got an error message that I could not connect with the server. Anyways, there are programs for copying streaming media. Go to www.betanews.com and check their archives. Search for streaming media, or something of the like. You should come up with some beta programs you can try.
Works only with Windows Media, not Real Player.
Right click on the highest connection speed for the windows player, copy shortcut. Open the ASF recorder. Click File/ Open URL then paste the address in.
It’s easy to save that file to your HDD
Create a new textdocument somewhere on your HDD and name it whateveryouwant.html then edit it and paste this HTML code into it:
<a href=“http://www.rpi.edu/~changb/money_funny.asf”>bleh</a>
Then open it in IE or Netscape (or whatever browser you use) and “Save link as”
I hope the code turns up alright after I submit it…
Good luck!
Oh, and scott evil, I have that ASF recorder program, and it makes it super-fast to download music videos, and the quality is very good, no choppy scenes and such.
If you don’t have the Windows Media, I highly recommend dl it, if only to utilize this program.
