    Hi... I have tried many different software applications prior to going to these lengths in order to gain knowledge in regards to saving a streaming video from a website, however with all of them claiming to be "able" to record and save all streaming videos, I have wasted a whole lot of cash to be delivered with lemon after lemon. Have downloaded WM recorder, AVI recorder 8, plus other applications, even gone to lengths to register these programs to full versions in order to possibly get the maximum effect, however have still been unable to save the video I am most after.
    The video I am referring to is from the following url -
    hxxp://www.liveatthechapel.com/media_player.php?flvURL=bob_evans&title=Bob%20Evan s
    Im not an idiot, I have tried accessing the URL page source though Firefox, however after repeated attempts to save the FLV have found that it only saves the 1kb shortcut, which is unplayable. I can still view the streaming video via the URL, however I would MUCH prefer to be able to just download this. I would buy it if possible... but its not. Not this performance... and it sucks...
    Someone please help me out.
    I have attached the complete page source below, and tried all variations of the appropriate download URL via this, but every time come up empty, just getting a 1kb FLV file that wont even play. I am sure that there is a way to download this stream onto my computer for future viewing, however I have no idea what, if anything I have missed out.... I cant seem to get a proper download link with any programs I have bought/downloaded, and am pretty much now stuck....



    If anyone can help, please email me or reply to this topic. I have set this thread to inform me of topic replies, so if anyone can let me know, I will be able to get hold of your response and go from there.

    Thanks, sorry for the hassle, but this has taken up a lot of my time, and I've drained pretty much all of my resources so far, hoping you guys know something I don't and are willing to help me out!

    Cheers guys

    Since you already have Firefox, install the add-in called "Video Downloader"




    Here's the website:

    There's something else you can try - Camstudio. It captures desktop video as an AVI file, with sound

    It works with some streams, and not with others. But it's free to try out and well worth the effort

    If you choose 56k connection at the bottom, you can audio hijack the sound only with your favorite program if all you want is the sound. I have dsl and it won't even stream properly at any other setting. It starts and stops. It is a true stream and appears to be Real Video. Otherwise get a dvr and cam it from the screen. The video quality is the pits anyway.
