Primarygun Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 There's a online TV firm in my country providing online TV programs for us to watch. The programmes are instantaneous, live. I downloaded the software and the Window media player was used to enjoy this free service. I want to get some of my favourable movie recorded in the channel but I don't know what to do. There might be some software which kindly provides the powerful function but I have very little knowledge about it. Any idea would be appreciated.

5614 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 You can try using a program which allows to you to record what is happening on the screen (ie. watching TV). I don't think you can save or otherwise record something being streamed like that, there was a thread on it, about saving files which are being streamed, search for it.

Dave Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 You can do it, but you'll need a decent application to save the stream as a movie. I'll have to look up some applications when I get back home. The only problem that I can foresee is that WMP formats tend to have a hefty lump of DRM attached to them. It may be a protected stream, and if that is the case you won't be able to record it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Unless you use a screen capturing program, but then using the 'Print Screen' button on a WMP movie doesn't actually work, so maybe the screen capture program won't, you'd have to try it.

Dave Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Screen capture may or may not work - it uses the 2D acceleration on your graphics card - but the image would be jerky, at best. At least I haven't found a decent one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primarygun Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 I downloaded WM recorder 10.2 and it accomplished it. I launched the software (not WM)for the internet TV channel, then entered the URL on it. It recorded the programmes. Is there any other software having a similar function?
