Author Topic: How can I save this file? Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

The connection sucks and it freezes up all the time. How can I save it to my hard disk?  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-23-2005 12:15 PM                       If you have a valid URL, you can "record" any streaming media to a video file. Check this out: WM Recorder The demo version limits your d/l time to 2 minutes (although, depending on your connection speed, you can capture streams of several minutes in length).  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I tried some of the streaming media recorders listed here, but so far only with very limited success: HiDownload only saved half the file and then stopped (several times, although I don't think there is a limit, the trial version is supposedly fully functional for 50 days or so), MassDownloader got the whole file (350MB), but it doesn't play in WMP or WinAmp. EDIT - this little free program here works without any problems.

He saved a couple of mine.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 10-24-2005 03:23 AM                     quote: Michael Schaffer this little free program here works without any problems.
