I have tried any number of different applications to capture the video webcasts from UC Berkeley webcasts, all with no success. Using NetTransport (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/NetXFer-Saving-Windows-Media-Real-Audio-Video-QT-streaming-to-hd.htm), the streaming file shows a few bytes downloaded and then the download hangs and the projected time for download just keeps going higher and higher.

For example:

Any suggestions or anyone have success with a specific method?

Thank you.

I've been using NetTransport (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/NetXFer-Saving-Windows-Media-Real-Audio-Video-QT-streaming-to-hd.htm) to download Real Media stream from Berkeley for ages.

The best thing is that you can right click on the web-page and select "Download all with NetTransport". NetTransport can postprocess .RM metafiles and start downloading rtsp:// .rm Real Media streams automatically. It works perfectly with Berkeley webcasts.

There are many media stream recorders (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/all-streaming-video-recording-software.htm) that support rtsp:// real media streams, but NetTransport is definitely the one that I recommend to use here. It is not perfect. Even when I use I thread to download .RM videos through the RTSP protocol, I have to check every downloaded video, because sometimes they are not fully downloaded.

p.s. Your problem is probably caused by the old version of NetTransport.

Thanks so much, indeed I am using an old freeware version of NetTransport. Time to update. I want to capture several full class videos before they decide to eliminate them from their servers.
