Does anyone know a way that I can download/record/rip the following file? It is an .ram stream on an rtsp site. I have no experience messing with Real files.

original link - http://soundprint.org/streamIt.php?stream=documentaries/w/world_at_your_fingertips.rm
link in .ram file - rtsp://soundprint.org/documentaries/w/world_at_your_fingertips.rm

If someone who has the time and know-how could even go that extra step to download this, convert it to mp3 and then reupload it somewhere for me, I would really appreciate it. I am going to be at work all day and won't have a chance to work on this, but my wife needs it for a class she is teaching.

Thanks so much!

How about this one as a mov or wmv? (700kps stream that is)

@ sunday256: After a while, I finally got the raw FLV stream. The problem is I can't figure out how to convert it. Every single one of my programs I have tried so far is running into problems; I suspect they may have but some copy protection in. I'll keep trying, but if nothing else I'll at least upload the FLV; you can still watch it in FLV player and VLC.

@andy_k_250: No problem. I did it simply with HiDownload without a problem. HiDownload

EDIT: SUCCESS! I think I just figured out how to convert it sunday256, I have to go play tennis now, but I will put it up later.

May the Force be with you.

Well... I may have spoken too soon. In a way, I *can* convert it, but the audio and video is off. The video does not start for 10 seconds, no matter what format I tried, and believe me, I tried a lot. So I guess I'll just upload the original FLV, and the unsynchronized other formats. The problem seems to be that when I open the original in FLV Player, it starts at "Time = 10 seconds," which is what must be messing my encoders up. It'll be up in a little bit.

EDIT: Never mind the above, I just did it! For now, I am just putting a ZIP file on Megaupload with the original FLV file and the converted AVI file. I know that you mentioned a MOV or WMV file earlier, but they came out pretty big, and for speed's sake, I will just put the AVI up. AVI is pretty common, so you should be able to play it. If you need a MOV or WMV format, let me know and I will put it up also.

May the Force be with you.

Actually the video only would be fine. I'll replace the audio with the audio from the CD. The capture they have is a bit sharper than my old VHS copy. So if however you want to put it up is fine.

Just curious, but how did you capture it?

Thanks
