How would I capture steaming video?

[bachdog]

Is there a way to capture streaming video in a web page so it can be saved as an avi or mpg file? For example, broadcast.yahoo.com has movies that it streams using Windows Media Player (that was my preference over Real Player) and I'm trying to capture the video. I've used a program called flycap to capture streaming audio but the streaming video component only works with a webcam or other video input device.

Thanks,

Mark

Snag captures screen images. You can set it to capture your screen images to make a video for a presentation, but it doesn't capture streaming video. For instance, if I try to capture streaming video and put my cursor on the video, when I play it back it all I get is a black screen and the cursor. The video itself is not captured.

If that is the case, something is wrong. It worked perfectly for me.

Beachdog - I like that, but it's Bachdog. I had success with Snagit at home (Windows 98se) but it's been hit or miss at work (Windows NT). I don't know if the operating system has anything to do with it or the network but it's weird how sometimes the video doesn't get captured. Thanks for your help.
