Turns out we had an MMS stream that needed to be saved again, I used to have some tool that did that but it wasn’t all that great and in the meanwhile my PC got reinstalled so I went to look for a solution again. Streamripper doesn’t do MMS (or so it seems), so I landed at Swiss Army Knife VideoLAN .
What to do:
- Save your ASF file
- Open it up in an editor and copy/paste the mms:// url
- Open up your commandline (if vlc(.exe) isn’t in your path, change to your VLC directory or type the full path)
- vlc -vvv mms://foo –sout file/avi:bar.avi (replace foo by your mms url and bar.avi by your desired output file)
Could it be any easier?
Probably, but still. 😉
