how do I capture from ABC.com?

[sasha1234]

Im trying to capture "Lost" off ABC.com but have no idea where to start. I am not computer savy so any help would be greatly appreciated. I do not need the entire episode, but just portions of it....

Where do I start? What do I use?.....

Thank you in advance.

Try Replay Media Catcher

Buy a DVD Recorder if you are not computer savy.

WM-Recorder (WMR) and Replay Media Catcher (RMC) work on non-certificate auth sites like hulu.com, but any shows that abc.com releases can ONLY be played by players that have the proper auth certificate, which is their own player that you download from their site. So what this means is that when WMR or RMC make a request to capture that stream from abc.com, abc.com simply refuses and you're left with only the commercials. Believe me, I've already spent the cash purchasing both programs only to find this out after the fact. Should've done my homework before spending the $$$. Oh well, live and learn.

The only program that works is one that will capture the video right off your video buffer, in other words a screen capture like WM-Capture or SnagIt. I've got WM-Capture and it actually does work pretty well and allows saving of the stream to either a MPEG-2 or a WMV file. The only annoyance about it is that you must take the time to position the capture crosshairs perfectly right on the screen so you don't end up capturing useless pieces of your own desktop as part of the video, but once you get the hang of it, the HD content saved as MPEG-2 is actually very good. You won't be able to tell the difference between it and one captured using WMR or RMC.
