These things are getting more and more tricky, especially the pr0n ones, not that I download any of them :p

For this one, I had to put in the asx filename and location in asfrecorder, and obtain the error message for what file it could not download (mms://rome.blastro.com/ceeloclosetfreak_300.wmv). Then enter this info into streambox vcr. Sneaky bastages.

Ah, son of a bitch, will SOMEONE please tell me what Streambox VCR is? Pretty please? (I'm not calling you son of a bitch, just a general frusturated remark cause I've asked 3 times and no one answers).

Where'd you get that? Is that that program's sole purpose, or will I have to follow some funky steps?

Most ASF streams can be converted on the fly by ASFRecorder to the WMV format.

Streambox VCR v1.0 beta 3.1 is out there and fairly easy to find, but is illegal for download in the United States. Good thing I live in Canada. I found it by typing the program name into Google, though. The manual for the program reads:

Ever notice that most streaming media content, such as .asx, .asf, .wmf, .rm and .ram files, can be played, but not saved? Would you like to save streaming media to your Hard Disk for future playing? Of course you would!. StreamBox VCR is an easy to use utility which allows one to save streaming media to ones Hard Disk for later playing.

It is an easy-to-use program that was made for downloading streaming video.

I assumed I didn't have to type that since that's what you were asking for.
