Capturing Streaming Media

[leecheskicked]

okay I know this is possible, I read it hear ages ago, but can't find it again!

What I want to do is capture a cartoon series which my kids watch on BBCi, it's streamed media with no save option, anyone remember how to do this, I vaguely remember it had something do with cache file, or then again maybe not lol

can you give me the link that has the video?

offhand i'd say notepad for quicktime, StreamBox!VCR or ASFRecorder for other formats.

well by looking at the source in notepad you can see the first one is
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/tamaraswift/dram...ash/act1_1b.swf
but in media player classic you must forward the bar past 20 to play it (at 19 it sez can't be played locally but it does it you move the progress bar to 20 or higher and press play)
the rest should be:

ok I follow you so far, kind of, maybe I'm just dense but I still have no idea how to capture these files so I can burn them to vcd or dvd

well you can just right click those links and save to disk, but i have no idea how to convert swf (shockwaveflash) to VCD
