Capturing streaming video with a browser
I have read somewhere on this board the ability to capture streaming video on the computer and being able to save it for later burning to a DVD.
I recall it was a browser that was capable of doing it. Do my guru friends know of such a brower?

Re: Capturing streaming video with a browser
Kayone . . . sure do . . . I do it all the time.
First you need to use Firefox as your browser. Then you need to add: "Download Helper" from the list of free add-ons, extensions, appearance and plug-ins to Firefox. After you have your Firefox browser loaded with Download Helper all you have to do is click on the little active Download Helper icon on the top of your Firefox browser that signals you whenever it senses a video file that it is capable of downloading.
That said, most streaming internet video files are in a format called: "Flash" which doesn't burn directly onto a DVD. You must then convert your Flash file to a format that can be burned to a DVD such as: AVI, MOV, MPEG4, etc. I use the free video converter from IWisoft: http://www.iwisoft.com/videoconverter/
Good luck

Hi, I just want to say thank you on the software that you've provided in your post. That certainly helped me in my video conversions and the output is high quality. I am very satisfied with the tool. Does it have any updates by the way?
