possible to record a quicktime webcast?

[treesurf]

I'm wondering if it's possible to record a quicktime live webcast. I'm using mplayer to view the webcasts and would like a way to record them for later viewing.

Thanks.

I've had good luck with DownloadHelper

If that doesn't work, try doing it from the command line using -dumpstream... something like this:

mplayer -dumpstream mms://some.site.com/stupid/proprietary/file/format.asf

Not sure about quiktime, but you can find out easy enough. Open Nautilus, and navigate to /tmp.
Make a mental note of the files there. Start a quicktime, and see if a new file appears.

If so, you may be able to capture it by the same means I use with flash videos.

As soon as the video is done downloading, but before it's done playing, reame the file from /tmp/weird_filename to /home/myusername/weird_filename.
You should then be able to view the saved file later on.
