How Can I Download Videos Which Are Streaming from mms Protocol?

Question

There is a website which provides a Local TV's Shows Archive.

I Can watch them with Windows Media Player, it buffers there. i can see that it's using for ex. mms://abc.com/video.wmv address.

How Can I Download That Video ?

• I asked them, they would allow us to record from the screen!

Solution 1

mms:// is streaming protocol and, thus, media session is not necessarily backed by a file. For instance, it could be a live source of video/audio too. On your end you receive this stream of data and what you can do is to re-multitplex the data into a file.

Windows Media APIs let you write incoming data into a file. For example you could be using DirectShow WM ASF Writer filter to do this (if your question refers to programmatic action, or otherwise you asked at wrong site).

Solution 2

I find a way can handle this,use vlc. refer to

link

briefly speaking(my way):

1. Media -> Convert/Save

2. Network tab, enter mms:url, press Convert/Save

3. use raw input

4. Enter file name for local file

5. Press Save
