Once played (downloaded) the file remains present as a temporary internet file and if you know how to find it you can save and rename it. I use Ztree, which locates the temporary internet file (sometimes two of them) in seconds. Being videos you can easily recognise them by the time stamp and file size. I copy the file to another directory and rename it *.flv or *.wmf etc according to the original format and that's it. I never had any success with file grabbing programs, they all seemed to work for a while then quit on me. Rightly or wrongly, I attributed that to sites like Utube trying to stay one step ahead of the file grabber writers. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 806469 | 2009-09-04 05:19:00 | Here's one link: www.rtl.nl/(ord=1252037772829) You can feed that through something like SDPDownloader which should hopefully be able to download it the windows media stream. |

| 806470 | 2009-09-04 07:33:00 | If you use Firefox, try the downloadhelper addon. It can handle a ton of different sites, and even convert the .flv's to other formats on the fly (although you have to register if you don't want a watermark on your files - I get around that by using VLC). | ubergeek85 (131) | ||

Thanks Commands: Log C L/C Enter (F)ilespec *.* Press Enter (G)lobal ALT-F x 3 to display file sizes and time Look for largest file size on screen, it will be in the first 10-15 displayed and the time stamp will be only a few minutes old. Ctrl C to copy or Ctrl-M to move Enter destination directory/folder and press enter. Go to destination directory and change file name to ???.flv Alternatively take the time to to learn the split-screen mode and you can select the destination on screen and 'move as', renaming before sending. Takes less than a minute to complete this process once familiar and as I said, it will capture any file. It is unstoppable because it lifts the file direct from your temporary internet files.
