Hi again. I've been googling again. I'm a bit stuck for live video streams as I'm on dialup, but a link I found on google suggests using "mmsrip", which is available from freshrpms. For FC6 (zod) see. http://zod.freshrpms.net If you read french the link I found on Google is. http://www.llaumgui.com/post/Telecharger-un-stream-MMS-Microsoft-Media-Service This is basically saying that the mms protocol doesn't allow you to download some videos using the wget command. To download these streams it is necessary to use the mms ripper utility, which you can get from freshrpms. Just another suggestion, if it's any help. I'm still Googling this problem. My french is nowhere near perfect, and Firefox insists on connecting me to Google.fr which doesn't help. All the best. Nigel.
Thanks. Actually downloading the files is not what I need. The nice thing about MMS is that the stream can be fast forwarded and rewinded as if it were local. One can even play it at double or half speed (or anything in between) as if it were a local file. As the lectures are over 1 GB in size, I'd rather watch them streaming than download them in their entirety. Thank for the tip, though.
