download/save .wmv

Hi,

I've found a streaming wmv file (Starts with: mms:// & ends with .wmv) and im trying to save it to my hard disk.

What should I do/use to save/download it?

since its streaming you will have a hard time "saving" it
if you have snapzpro 2.0 you can capture the video from that portion if you load the stream and record from there.

im pretty sure there is a better way to do this... and i think its been covered before... try searching and reading..

unless someone can think of the other way.. im blanking at the moment

I dont really want to use snapzpro coz its about an 80 minute video.

but ill try it and see how i go

Try one of the web site downloaders like deepvacuum or sitesucker. This should get you all the files from the server.

Ive got a problem when I use Snapz Pro X. When I try to record the movie the sound immediately goes all jerky and sounds as if its almost in slow motion!!!

What can be done to stop this???

On a PC you can just change "mms://" to "http://", and it will either download the file and play, or it will download a playlist file. Sometimes it will refuse, you'll just have to try it.

If it downloads a playlist file you can open with a text editor and find the address of the real file.

If your familiar with WGET you shouldn't have any problem downloading.
