I was wondering if there is a way to capture a streaming video from the internet? The video is not "live" or anything and I can fast forward and reverse as much as I want, so it's just a regular video.... but I can't figure out how to save it to my hard drive. The video uses Windows Media Player to open, and I think I have access to most all of the WMP options while the video is playing, but I can't find a save function. Also, is it possible to do this without a capture card? I sure would think so. I'm downloading it to view it... it's gotta save it somewhere.....


P.S. Yes, I'm sure it's streaming video.

Try %temp%, your temporary internet files, and right clicking the link and just "save as"

I would think you would need to have some sort of video capture to save it, since it is not saved as an entire file on drive.

Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Hold on. This newbie needs to be "initiated". And we all know what <i>that means.

That's Italian for Grand Tourismo isn't it? An abreviation can't be copyrighted can it? Spyder seemed like such a cool name, I dunno. I'm not trying to be facetious here, either.

Bittorrent will probably be your friend for this. There was this big package of program files I downloaded, I think it had several streaming internet video recorders on it. Search on bittorrent.

Yeah, poor Rover. Got 2 friends on the rock n' roll now who worked at Longbridge. Good workforce, crap products and no development.

So what you go now? Merc? Audi? Skoda?!

Automatic gearbox, naturally? All that comfort and refinement, you don't want to be using something so demeaning as a clutch, now do you?

I'm not surprise the missus likes it. Bet she encouraged you, you wanted a Nissan Micra and the Beamer was more beffiting to her bling image.
