QuickSaveMovies

I am going to revive this thread to update about QuickSaveMovies. It now converts to iPod compatible format, thanks to the hint from jonat8. and some hint i found elsewhere. I don't have an iPod with video yet. I hope at least some of you will benefit from this app.

Get it from http://www.digixa.com

Hmm... does anybody know how to save a wmv. video?

 

[darwen]

even if you could... how would you convert it?

I have VLC player and the Windows player... it's just... a really fun little clip.

I have used this method to save streaming WMV video successfully on Windows XP.
Download MPlayer from here and extract to a folder.
Click Start > Run and type "cmd" (without the quotes) to open a command prompt.
Navigate to the directory that you installed MPlayer in using the "cd" command.
Type "mplayer -dumpstream" (without the quotes) followed by the URL of the streaming video (view the source of the page and look for EMBED; the URL will probably start with mms://).
Press enter and wait for MPlayer to finish.
Rename the new file stream.dump in the MPlayer directory to something with a .wmv extension.

Great thread. I have never used VLC because I have QT Pro and Flip4Mac but knowing this has shown me added value for it.

I tried out the methods as suggested here and it works flawlessly.

Thanks guys!

Anyone worked out how to save realplayer streams yet? and then maybe convert to quicktime files? this would be really really useful for me.

MPlayer can do this, see post #80.

Don't ask me if you can convert RealPlayer-files...

ffmpegX can.

MPlayer can do this, see post #80.

Can you do this on a Mac? I can't seem to get it to work.

 

[Nermal]

You can, I did it last night. I couldn't find an option in the Mac GUI, so I used the command-line version.

 

[Josh396]

Could anyone lead me in the right direction to do that?

 

[Nermal]

How familiar are you with the command line? I couldn't find a Mac command line version of MPlayer (althought I didn't look very hard) so I recompiled the Linux version - not recommended for a command line newbie

 

[Josh396]

Well then it sure isn't recommended for me.

Do you know of anything else that may work? Or a place where I could learn to try and get familiar with the command line? Thanks for the help.

Safari doesn't work anymore, try Camino or Firefox.

how do i get onto video sorce and where can i get safari

 

[Ubuntu]

Safari is the standard mac browser. It should be in your operating system.

But I have no idea about the Video Source. I see "View Source" but not "Video Source".
