Recording Online Streaming Media

[shoutman]

Hey,
Is it posibly to record streaming media from the internet and watch it later but in good quality, as if u downloaded it? Coz im on 56k and i can watch about 3 seconds before it has to stop and buffer again. So i was wondering if i can like record it and watch it on my computer with out the stop starts? Peace.

streambox vcr (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_capture_tools/streambox_vcr_suite.cfm)

try using that to download the file. you will need to find the actual source of the file though. which they generally hide.

if its a wmp file the url will begin with mms://
if its a real file the url will begin with rtsp://

try using a sniffer to search all incoming packets for those and with any luck you will find your file.

its a winamp stream, so what do i need to find the whole URL?
