AR Husker Fan Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 A lot of folks have, over time, posted questions on how to capture streaming video off the web. There are a number of tools for doing so, but it can get really confusing knowning which tool is needed for which type of media. While not comprehensive, THIS ARTICLE should help you capture streaming video from most sources. Quote Link to comment

NU fan in Denver Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Has anyone had any luck with this, I tried messing around with it the other night, but had no luck. I just want to see if I am wasting my time or if people got it to work and I just need to try a little harder. Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Has anyone had any luck with this, I tried messing around with it the other night, but had no luck. I just want to see if I am wasting my time or if people got it to work and I just need to try a little harder. I got it to work...but the demo only let you capture the 1st 90 sec of the clip and with a chain of words in the middle letting you know it is a demo. So at least you know if you buy the real version it will work. Quote Link to comment
eliot1171 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I use the FireFox extension all the time. Works great. If the video is just embedded you can just view the page source and retrieve the location of the video through that. Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 For anyone that uses Mozilla Firefox I found a few Add-ons that might be helpful. One is an add-on mentioned in the article. Link I am going to fool around with it tonight to see what I can get to work. Quote Link to comment

bennychico11 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hey, I thought I'd just add some more links to programs to use for taking videos off YouTube and putting them on DVD. Download your YouTube vids with sites like these: http://www.kissyoutube.com/ http://www.downloadyoutubevideos.com/ When you save the video, rename the file and change the extension to make it an .FLV file. Download a great video converter program called SUPER (free): http://www.videohelp.com/tools/SUPER_1 Open the program up drag and drop the file into the file box. You'll see in "Select the Output Container" a ton of options to convert files to. I like to use "vob DVD Compliant" which converts the file into a .VOB (DVD-Video Object). Basically it's just an MPEG2 file but with a few extra options. If you're in the US, change the "video scale size" to 720:480...Full D1 Standard. Make sure the Frame/Sec is set to 29.97 If you're in Europe or somewhere that uses PAL change the "video scale size" to 720:576...frame/sec set to 25. You can leave the bitrate at it's current setting...or turn it up to get better quality (although, remember, you can't INCREASE the quality of a poorly recorded video). Of course you don't want to exceed the size that fits onto a DVD, so use this calculator to help figure out the max bitrate you can set the file(s) to: http://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm Just leave audio as it is, 48kHz, 2 channels, 384kbps. Right mouse click on the program and change the "Output File Saving Management" to a location of your choice. Then make sure all the files in the Encode box are check marked and press the "Encode" button The program will do it's thing. Unfortunately the .VOB file isn't enough. The DVD needs IFO and BUP files. So, now download an easy to use (and free) program called DVDStyler: http://www.dvdstyler.de/downloads.html Play around with the program to learn how to create a Menu if you'd like. Then just drag and drop the VOB file we created into the bottom timeline. Put a DVD-R in your recorder and then go to File-->Burn DVD. Choose "Burn" in the popup window and select your DVD-R drive.....then press okay! After awhile you'll have your gameday DVD! HTH Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Excellent! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
eliot1171 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 There are much easier ways to do this. Just use a site like this: http://vconvert.net/ or http://www.zamzar.com/ and if you want to make a dvd use: http://www.dvdflick.net/ Quote Link to comment
