know of a program that converts streaming video-->

i am trying to find a program similar to Red Kawa's YouTube Video Converter App, also called Videora Ipod Converter....the YouTube version allows you to open up the program (YouTube Video Converter) and type in the youtube url and literally just browse the site like its internet explorer, and when you come to the video you want....the program has a tab turn green which allows you to record the video being played on YouTube....this allows you to save the youtube video to an ipod after a conversion or two...

what i am looking for is a program that allows you to do this at ANY site that streams video (doesnt allow you to just right click>save as) not just YouTube.... or most notably i want to record the archived streams off of iclips.net

if you go to iclips.net you can click on the show you want to see, and it opens the video up in java or flash or something, and you cant download it. If anyone knows of a program that records streamed video into a common video format (avi would be best) i would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!

 

I'm new, but not to this type of thing. You're probably looking for Camtasia Studio.

 

i will give it a try...thanks man!

 

i just dl the free version of camtasia....but i am still not sure how i can incorporate the streams from iclips.net to the camtasia program...i will keep messing with it after i get off work tonight lol...

 

Oh man I need to look into this, think of all the pornographic possibilities.

 

a powerfull free sollution is ffmpeg there also is a gui interface for windows http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ffmpegGUI

 

Camtasia will work but it's cumbersome. You define a region on the screen in Camtasia that you want to record and then start recording. It will record the audio also if you tell it to. It's advantage is that it will record anything on the screen and speakers regardless of the data format.

A site that lists many stream rippers.

Sorry, I completely forgot I had responded, did you get Camtasia to work?

 

I've used camstasia before, and it sounds like it would work for what you're wanting, just recording a specific area of the screen.

anything else, like grabbing the actual video file or such would probably just end up being more complicated.
