I began watching TV from the Internet. With the time change, what I'd like to watch is usually on when I'm at work, so except on weekends, it's not that useful.

It's all streaming video so I cannot save what I watch. I guess there must be a way, but how?

screen capture programs work, but the quality is crap.

Streaming is designed so that you can't properly save it...it's a way to retain ownership of the material.

try Super from http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html. I haven't tried it for streaming but it claims that it can save them.

"Direct Stream Copy" mode to render exact quality when the same video/audio codecs of the source file are to be used in the output file.
Play all of the above file formats with SUPER �
Play or Save on your Disk the Internet Media Streams like: mms:// rtsp:// http://

Why bother, just bookmark it and save the disc space.

I always wanted to save YouTube videos, but can't as they can go offline. You can't even save your own videos should you upload one onto YouTube and then delete it from your hard disk.

I know there must be a way to capture any incoming data on a computer, but the data capture software has to exist. A programmer of some sort probably could achieve saving any YouTube video they wanted by making a program that captures all income data at the users command. The problem though is that I am not a computer programmer for if I was, I would have a high paying career job with an American company operating in India.

Firefox has an add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2390 which works great with youtube. I don't know if it works with other streaming video.

I find newsgroups is a good alternative to YouTube and Bittorrent.

What are you meaning by 'streaming video'

Is it live footage, coming from a broadcaster. i.e news that once its played its gone.

Or is it a video clip link like youtube or surfthechannel where your watching a video clip that someone has uploaded and you can watch it over and over again.

If its actual live TV then your going to need capture software and like someone said the results will be sh|tty.

If its video clips like youtube etc then something like this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006
or this
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3590
will add on to firefox nice and easy.

or look for a stand alone app through google.

I use the add-ons as mentioned above for Firefox and it works great, I also have a hacked version of Replay Media Catcher that works even better. The files are saved as .flv files which you can watch using most viewers (I use Flash Video Player). Or even better convert the files to .avi or whatever (FLV to avi programs, or WinFF or Winavi Converter).

Well... thanks for sharing. I'm sure you meant well, but any of you (the third last posters before this message) took the time to read the previous posts and/or check the dates of the previous posts? Rolling Eyes
