June 17, 200520 yr Question for the people who watch a video stream in windows... Say I watch a video stream on windows media - where does the file save on the local hard drive for later playback? Or does it? I cannot find it anywhere.

Say I watch a video stream on windows media - where does the file save on the local hard drive for later playback? Or does it? I cannot find it anywhere. It doesn't. For instance, if you played a music video, it would be in "Now Playing" and then when stopped, automatically deleted from the Library since it is an internet source with no extension type.

That's what I thought, but I was hoping the answer was different. But... it has to have an extension type to play in .wmv does it not?
June 17, 200520 yr saw the heading and thought it was talking about techgeekxp in the contest thread lol, he is weird
June 17, 200520 yr I think there is a way to download it. Its just really complicated and it involves downloading the stream and I dont' think winows media player does it. It woudl have to be some media player specifically designed for downloading the stream. I remember my friend had one and he'd download the mlb.tv stuff into his computer but I don't remember how the hell he did it.

June 17, 200520 yr Depends on where you are trying to download from. If it's like a music video not from Launch, I could get that. There's also programs to download streams.
June 17, 200520 yr There's a long shot the file could be inside the TEMP folder of the Windows folder. But if you were watching a stream of a newscast or sports highlights or something it wouldn't stay on your hard drive.
June 17, 200520 yr I tried googling it but whatever it is it is some illegal device. The whole point of streaming is to prevent copyright infringement or at least thats what I read on one of the sites. Well that and it is much easier on the server load. (learned a lot more about streaming video than I ever thought I would, lol). I know there is a type of program that will grab the feed and copy it to the harddrive, but I've had no luck in the google search Kap. Edit: Found something for ya Kap. Just go here, it has info on it and how to rip it and such. Has a list of programs you can download. http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/
June 17, 200520 yr Author ya, I just found it. Cool. Now I gotta figure out how to get rights to all this stuff... I think you know what I'm using it for.
