Saving Youtube LIVEstream onto HDD?

[molocho]

Google search is exhausted, so i ask the community with the best know how i've read on the internet about this type of problem.

Last year the Ultra Music Festival 2012 in Miami was broadcasted via YouTube/Google live in 1080p. As the event managers did not want the footage aired on UMFTV to be saved, it never fully appeared on the internet, especially not in the original bitstream quality no matter which internet services i combed for ages.

I remember not being able to save the livestream to my hdd, and today i still haven't found any tool that would do that with ANY Youtube LIVESTREAM.

So i would be grateful and would even buy my helping hand a coffee if it could get me a working youtube livestream downloader to work. The ability to choose the 1080p streaming quality is important to me. A screen capture solution is no option for the PC i plan to record to, as it has very low resolution and low cpu power.

I don't want to miss the next broadcasted event in mid of March 2013.

Just to mention again and make myself clear - i do NOT need a solution for standard YouTube videos i could always watch!

Thanks for help!

I doubt you will find anything that works. And if you would find something that works now it will probably not work in march....
