| 129098 | 2003-03-18 05:42:00 | You could try a trial version of Hypercam, from Hyperionics.com. Or Snagit (can't remember the site; try a search engine) Success is patchy, tho'. I think a good many sites deliberately fix video feeds so you can't capture them. Alternatively, if it's stored video files you're talking about, not "live" webcams, it's always worth TRYING to right-click on the link to the video and save; I have found sites where some will obediently download a file for you. (Others, particularly Real videos, will only download a "stub" which when you click on it, will reconnect you to the site and play the video again.) And even with "streaming" video, it's worthwhile trying a Netscape browser, adjusting the cache size to huge, hanging on the site for a while, then checking the cache. I've known sites that give you hundreds of frames as .jpgs stacked in the cache. Turning those back into a video file is another problem. Argus |
