Capturing a segment of streaming Real Media

[Raga]

There's an event (here) of which streaming Real Media is broadcast live all day long. I'd like to capture some of that.

And to that end, I did my googling and installed HiDownload. However, the problem I'm having is that apparently HiDownload stores the stream into some odd format before it's completed, and now I have a file called: ratha-yatra-2005.rm.@@@1

Is there a way to only capture a part of the stream and have that available as a regular file? Changing the extension doesn't do any good, the file doesn't work.

you could try rm recorder.

Never mind - MPlayer on command line just made my day.

mplayer.exe -dumpstream rtsp://somehost.com/somedirectory/somefile.rm

Then rename the stream.dump into stream.rm and there you have it.
