Hi,

A year ago I was able to capture FOX (http://www.fox.com/home.htm) video streams using WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WMRecorder-One-click-online-audio-video-stream-recorder.htm). In the last year I've upgraded from XP to Vista (although I suspect this has little to do with it) and I now cannot capture video streams from FOX.

WM Recorder loads up fine but all recordings are 0 bytes long.

Other sites like ABC and NBC all work fine.

I've also tried Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) (which also used to work on FOX) but the nothing happens.

It looks like FOX might have changed the way they stream.

Anyone with any ideas.

(I've tried with Firefox, IE and Opera browsers).

Can you forward me to the video stream you have problem with? 'coz I was able to record Windows Media stream from the following page with WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WMRecorder-One-click-online-audio-video-stream-recorder.htm)

I was also able to record Flash .FLV RTMP stream from the homepage with Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm). Do you use the latest version?

Thanks I upgrade and used the latest WinPcap and it all works.

Thank you very much. Nice to know of a forum where there are real experts.
