Will some one please tell me where to get a program (pref. free) that
will capture video with audio as it comes from a URL? I want to
capture a video file from a URL from a local TV station. They did some
interviews I'd like to keep.

If this isn't the correct newsgroup, please direct me to the correct one.

Thanks

Henry

I don't understand about media encoder 9. It's not on my computer.
Will you go into more detail.

When the video is running, file>select>save as, the save as is grayed
out and can't be clicked.

Thanks

Henry

I installed Windows media encoder 9 series and set it to capture
audio/video. Only the audio was shown, the video was grayed out. I
then installed the encoder 9 codecs, and that didn't help either. The
video is grayed out. I can't copy the video from the TV url.

Please advise

Henry

You are probably talking about flash, it is used for streaming.
The format will be .flv
The easiest method is to have it converted online.
Open this site: http://vixy.net/
Paste the URL
Select what format to save as
Then select convert and download the clip(s)

When I do this I get the following message:
Error: URL resolve error. (YouTube.com is down??)

I have tried this site before and could never get it to work.

So specifically it is a YouTube clip that you want to download,
you failed to make that clear. You said it was a local TV station
Try this but YT is making it differcult for them to work.

I tried it with a YouTuube URL and it "seemed" to work, but I can't
find the file on my HD. Where does it put it please?

Let me be more clear. I originally wanted to download from a local TV
station and someone suggested WM Recorder. I downloaded that and it
worked like a charm. I tried your suggestion of http://vixy.net/ with
the TV station URL and that's when I got the previously reported error
message. When I use it with YouTube URL's it never works, or if it
does I can't find the file afterward. I searched my HD for *.flv and
got nothing. I then tried your suggestion of
http://www.youtubegrabber.info/ and after entering a YouTube URL got
nothing.

Here's two URL's to try if you like.

TV Station:
http://wm.kare.gannett.edgestreams.n...v?213436524624

YouTube: http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=exyJ2CSfrHo

====================================
When using the http://vixy.net/ site with YouTube...
the first step simply converts the video clip to
a different format...avi for example. Next...
you have to download the converted file to your
hard drive as follows:

After the file conversion is finished you will see
the following dialog on the screen:

Conversion Finished. Please download the following link:.
Download the converted video

You can right click "Download the converted video"
and choose... "Save Target As"...this will open the
"Save As" dialog that allows you to choose a save
location on your hard drive. Choose...Desktop...
and click the "Save" button.

After the file is downloaded you can go to your
desktop and move the file to any folder you
choose.

Note: I've noticed that sometimes the conversion
will fail...I think this is due to high traffic on the site...
the solution is to simply try again.
