Hi

I want to download the video at this link to my PC and then edit it.

http://stanford-online.stanford.edu/courses/msande472/060517-msande472-300.asx

The problem is that I cannot download using real player. Is there any other method of saving this to my desktop in wmv/avi format?

Thanks for your help.

Im not sure i get what your saying 100%, but couldn't you download it in that format and then covert it to WMA/AVI/MPEG Etc?

Again im not sure what your saying, thats prob. just me being a idiot :P

Thanks Mister Man...the problem I am having is that the extension .asx is not converting for me, its downloaded size is 4kb. As the URL lauches the video and not a webpage means that I cannot use YouTube downloader or Real Player...maybe I am being really stupid, hopefully:)...A simple answer would be great....cheers....Souness

I think .asx might be a streaming format. I'm nearly sure its possible in principle, but cant help you with details. Try googling, someone will have wanted to do it before....

heres a workaround, get camtasia or a screen recording software and play the stream and record said stream via camtasia and save it.

sorted.

Thanks (insert name), however this does not help me as I cannot download it still. Will go with the ingenious workaround suggested by roberthurley14. Thanks all!
