Capturing Streaming Videos
Saw a Stacie Orrico video of There's Gotta Be More To Life the other day. I'm thinking the makeup for the multiple characters in the video's pretty cool, but I wasn't able to actually save the video since I could only find it being streamed using Microsoft's proprietary mms:// protocol.

Turns out there's already a group called SDP that's more or less cracked the protocol. Their library is used in HiDownload, a download manager that allows you to download and save streaming media.

After figuring all this out, I'm realizing I'm starting to fall out of date on a lot of technologies out there. <sigh>
