Capture 'Real' feed from a website

beer enigma

Is there any way of capturing a 'Real' feed from a site ?? - ideally some freebie software. It's only for a 30 second clip.

Any help gratefully received

HiDownload is great for getting real streams . Its not free but on the trail version you might be able to get your clip.

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ will do the job.

And at the right price

Just hopping on to the end of this thread as I need to do something similar with a video broadcast that's an hour long.

The above product appears to be for audio. Is there anything similar for video? I have tried WM recorder but the trial only gives 2 minutes.

Is the link to the file.
Mplayer wil play the file fine, you can then use the -dumpstream option.

Hope this helps.

Thanks ste, I have downloaded mplayer and am trying to figure out the command line operation. Hopefully it will go ok!

ok, I'm not sure if I am doing this correctly. Below is what I have typed to try and play the file:

It doesn't seem to support the filetype??

When I try and type mplayer -dumpstream rtsp://straumod.nrk.no/A_ha_konsert_i_Frognerpar
ken/2005-09-02/A_ha_konsert_i_Frognerparken_650_108160_20050902_195506.wmv

The error i get is: Cannot dump this stream - no 'fd' available

I am sure I am doing this wrong, as my knowledge of all things non gui is rather small, but any help is appreciated!

Yeah I forgot to mention that you'll need the -playlist flag aswell.
The comman would go like

mplayer -playlist file -dumpstream -dumpfile aha_concert.wmv

If you like mplayer as I do and don't want the hassle of mplayer try http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php gui included. But the cli version offers more options and mencoder.

make sure you have the codecs aswell.
They can be found through the main mplayer page.

Use Media Player Classic. -> http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm
