I listen to a lot of teleseminars. Some are streaming audio and I want to save them and listen later.

I have been told that once they are in your temp files you can get them out but nobody seems to know how.

Can someone on here tell me how?

Any and all help is appreciated,
chyann

this would work to grab video I take with that Rovio webcam?
It streams only, but via IE, direct connection via wireless to the cambot.

Good idea Nick, I do use firefox and I want the files that use the player on the page. I know how to save things that are links.

Thank you.

I would not have posted at both places except I was not sure which one was the right place.

category. The place for technical help and such.

I just wanted to point you back to your other post, as you had some actual answers there before your post here had any replies at all.

Cheers!

It was a suggestion. There are other tools, all of which can be found through a Google search. I'm not much into aiding and abetting laziness...unless it's my own.

I have had some luck pasting the URL into an updated version of RealPlayer and then using the download option. Sometimes all I get is a pair of files that seem to be index markers for where the source is on the internet. One of those files acts like a shortcut and directs RealPlayer to the correct web page and plays it and THEN I can use the download option.

If successful, the downloaded file is an .flv file and will be at:
c:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Videos\RealPlayer Downloads

The path might vary depending on the particular sub-species of your Windows OS.

The downloaded files seem to run about 150MB per half-hour, give or take. That would put a regular movie at about 600MB.

HOWEVER -
I have noticed that some content seems to be masked or hidden by advertisements. If a video is preceded by an ad, all I get is the ad and not the following video.

There's a product called Replay AV that might have a new version that will handle this issue, but I haven't seen it in action.
