Saving .ram files to disk (1 Viewer)

[~ ReNcH ~]

I want to save a .ram RealPlayer file to disk so that I don't have to keep going to the website and downloading it each time. Does anyone know of a way to do that?
Btw. pressing "Save target as" doesn't do anything. When you open the saved file, it connects to the Internet.

No. This is why the media is designated as "streaming" - because you cannot save a copy, most probably because the material is copyrighted. Depending on the configuration of how the stream is set up, I do remember there once being a way to save the occaisonal file, but it was years ago now, and we don't support the infringement of copyrighted material here.

If it is legal for you to save the stream, then I heard on Call for Help that "RM Recorder" is good www.wmrecorder.com/rm_recorder.php

Saving streams is not illegal. Saving streams that are broadcasting copyrighted material, is illegal.

Ok.
That's fair enough. It just gets to be a bit of a pain having to download the .ram file everytime.
