What I mean by that is: Is there a way to save streaming video? ;)

Yeah I know, I gotta stop doing that.

Theres a couple way actaully. For starters, as long as its paing played through an http:// site and not a mms:// site, then you can easily overcome it by using a download porgram liek Download Accelerator to catch the click before its run through the browser and then to save it to disk. The alternativfe is to use a program like RmStream or some other one I can't remember that allows you to select a window and then when the video runs, this prog caputures a movie and saves it to your hard drive. Never was able to get that tro work since you need to disable video acceleration. Reason being is that once it's buffered into video ram, it will show up as one black screen even though there still might be sound. Sorry, but I can't remember where to get these tools.

Well, see here's the thing: I have a 56k, so the quality of streaming video sucks. Obviously, the quality of the video/audio itself is bad, and it's also jerky and buffers every 3 seconds. I was hoping there was a way I could download the really high quality version, and just watch it from my hard drive. (Thus, the hypercam and similar suggestions don't work for me). Catch my drift?

If it is a real stream, you will need real producer. Most ppl here hate real tho. It is kind of buggy and crashes my machine a lot.

What I do is wait for the stream to start, then go to the properties of video, find the url of it. Then simply make a little html page with a link to that url, right click and save as. Done. Works for me anyways...

Makes perfect sense, in fact I remember doing this in the past successfully, but I must be doing something wrong. I right click on the the movie as it's playing (streaming), and select properties. A dialog box comes up, yet...I can't find the URL in it anywhere? There's several tabs, I checked them all and can't find it! Am i doing something wrong? If not, where should the URL be in this box?

Well, is there anyway someone could check out the video I'm talking about, and perhaps see if there's a way to save that particular video? HydroStream's method is good, but won't work for this particular video for various reasons.

Here's the link to the page with the video: http://www.blastro.com/musicvideos/artists/Cee-Lo.html Obviously I'd like to save the highest quality version possible, and for WMP if possible.

If anyone could check that link out and see if there's a way that will work for me to download it, I would greatly appreciate it. :)
