Live Realmedia to vcd

[Naftalin]

Hello,

I need to capture from a live realmedia clip, into a vcd.
I know there is a guide on how to capture realmedia _files_,

But i need to capture direcly from the live realmedia server.

Is this possible?

Thanks

You have to get a program called streamvcr and urlsniffer and it's not always possible.

If possible, try to locate a non-realmedia source.

thats not an option.

im working with tinra now. It proccesses the stream alright i think, but when its done, nothing is saved to the harddrive.

i had tinra working now. (you need realplayer 8 or less)

but the quality is horrible.
Its around 10 fps and quiet blurry.

is there any other programs, that does the trick better?


My internet connection is 512kbit dsl and when i watch the movie with realplayer its pretty good (as good as it gets with realmedia)

[Naftalin]

could you help me out? i cant find any of those programs you name on that page...

Have a look around for Camtasia too.

I guess i could go that way if i had too, but if my internet acts up for a few seconds, ill have to start all over.
It would be nice though, if i could download the clip before converting/capturing it

i too had a similar situation, there was a real media video on the net that i couldn't find anywhere else(war of the worlds documentry). I used streambox to get it on my harddrive and then i used eo video to convert it to mpeg 1. can't say the quality was great, because the source stunk anyway, but it all worked flawlessly.

do you know where i can get streambox?

i found the true url with URL Snooper, but i still have problems...


streamboxvcr doesnt even try to reach the internet...it just fails.

x-fileget connects and shake hands with the real server, but still timeouts..

here's a piece of the log

#35 ! finding host real01.*.*
#36 ! server found, ip: *.*.*.*

make sure that you don't have firewall issues, realmedia and firewalls love each other

[liquid217]

if you don't mind, send me the link (email addy is in my profile), let me see if i can get it

[Naftalin]

My firewall doesnt block any of this stuff
