How can i save a WMV Video Steam
Hey, what the title says, How can i save a WMV Video Stream?
My stupid Uni has set up so much anti leech stuff and protection that i cant even download my video lectures, typical hey.
I used to be able to click save target, and now when i do i get a leech script saying to go back and retry.
So when i click normally, media player shoots up and it plays. So i am guessing there must be a way to save the stream as its playing?
Thanks for any help

People are going to come up against this problem more and more as DRM starts to bite, however you should be at least allowed to download your course work requirements, after all it's what you pay for, suggest you get onto your uni IT section direct and have a right go at them about it.

Well they are designed so you cant save them and pass them on. You can only watch them as you login to our portal things.
Anyways, i just found a magic tool, HiDownload its called, 30 day trial, and it works amazing, i am downloading the lot so i dont come upon this problem again.
The program must pretend to be media player, as all i do is feed the url with an asp extension into it and then it downloads it, works with other format too,
I agree, if you pay for it then they should let us have it...

Unplug is a free extension to Firefox which may help. The blurb reads
"UnPlug is an extension which lets you save video and audio which is embedded on a webpage - it's a video download tool!
UnPlug scans web pages and tells you where media players are getting their data from, and displays it as a simple hyperlink: in most cases, you can then follow the simple download link to save the media file.
UnPlug works for lots of sites including youtube.com, iflim.com, current.tv, myspace.com (video), revver.com, mobuzz.tv and lots more.
Unlike many other extensions, UnPlug scans the page, and if it doesn't know there the data comes from it can guess - correctly most of the time.
UnPlug your Plug-Ins and view media however you want!
More details at http://unplug.mozdev.org" and it can be found here https://addons.mozilla.org/search.ph...firefox&type=E and scroll down the page a bit.
