Given this mms url:

mms://a1808.v65778f.c65778.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/1808/65778/v0001/sos1475-1.streamos.download.akamai.com/65782/sst2014/SP091014.wmv

How do i use ffmpeg to get the video? Or do i need VLC?

VLC works fine to save the file.

just go to File->open network. paste in the mms:// url into the url box. tick the streaming/saving box and click settings. tick file, tick dump raw input and click browse for where you want to save it. click ok and click open. It will take a while but it will download the file in its orginal quality.

I would use the extension wmv for the video file.

Space hearing eh?

actually ffmpeg works.

ffmpeg -i "mmsh://a1808.v65778f.c65778.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/1808/65778/v0001/sos1475-1.streamos.download.akamai.com/65782/sst2014/SP091014.wmv" -c copy file.wmv

need to use the prefix mmsh instead of mms
