How To Save Streaming Video?

You will need;

1) NetTransport - a download program specifically designed for this purpose,
it allows fast and reliable downloading by making multiple connections to the
server hosting the stream, available at;

CODE
http://www.xi-soft.com/default.htm


2) Mozilla Firefox - an excellent internet browser that you should be using anyway.

CODE
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/


Method;

1. Open the page the video is displayed on

(e.g.
CODE
http://members.pornsite.com/videos/porn.htm


in the Firefox browser.

2. Rightclick on a blank space on that page near to the video display. Click on "View Page Info". Then click on the "Media" tab.
Scroll down the Media tab untill you see a media objecy of the type "Embed".
Select this object, and then copy the url of this object from the lower part of the window. The url will typically looking something like:

mms://pornsite.com/media/porn.wmv
(where the stream is hosted by the website)

OR

mms://xx.pornserver.com/media/pornsite/porn/full/porn.wmv?TOKENID=xx7X7JADh
(where the stream is hosted by a third party server)


3. Open NetTransport, click on the "Job" tab, and then click on "New Download".

4. In the "Add new download" window, paste the url you copied into the "url" box. Then, copy the url of the page the streaming video
was displayed on into the "Referrer" box (this is sent in the request to the server, making the server believe that the request
from the stream is in fact coming from the original web page, not your computer).
If the stream is hosted by the same website that allows
you to view the stream, (e.g in the Embedded url we found, the hostname is the name of the pornsite, and not a third party server)
you may need to enter your username and password in the appropriate boxes in the "Add new download" window,
but I've seldom found this to be the case.

So, if the original webpage we had was:

CODE
http://members.pornsite.com/videos/porn.htm


and the embedded url we found was:

mms://xx.pornserver.com/media/pornsite/porn/full/porn.wmv?TOKENID=xx7X7JADh

5. You can tweak the number of bots to use by right clicking in the "Course/Log" window and selecting "Increase" or "Decrease".
I find that about 5 gives me the best results, but find whatever works best for you. Be warned, some servers may have a maximum
number of connections per IP, so your connection might get cut off if you use lots of bots.


Other notes:

Proxies: NetTransport supports the use of proxies. To use this feature, just import a proxy list in the "Proxy" tab.
The use of proxies should hopefully be pretty self explanitory. Proxies can help with slow servers, or with servers
that allow only one connection per IP. However, be warned, if you have to enter
your username and password to get the stream to download, don't use proxies
as the multiple connections will likely kill your user/pass.

Other Software: NetTransport beats the pants of other stream capture software.
By downloading directly from the source, you can download very high quality movies without any jerkiness,
even if you are on a slow connection (it'll just take longer). In my opinion, this
makes this method far superior to Programs like "Windows Media Recorder" and
similar, which simply save the stream as you download it manually, meaning if you
have a relatively slow connection, high-def movies will be extremely jerky.

is there any football related site I can test this?

it should work on any football site.
