saving streaming video...

[thehunter1320]

ok... i have a .ASX file and it plays a video stream off the internet... but i was wondering how i can just save the .WMV file it plays... is there anyway to do this?

EDIT: or is there a program where i can just save the video as it's streaming

Have you tried Net Transport? It saves streamed files to your HD. To quote NT:

"Stream script such as .asx, .smi, etc. can be automatically parsed to acquire real URLs"

Some streaming video is specifically designed to prevent saving it. If you can save it, the File, Save Media As option will be available after the file has downloaded (the green progress bar across the shuttle during the play). Otherwise, pop over to doom9.net and see what might be mentioned there.
