On copying any Windows Media stream URL into clipboard, GetASFStream will automatically detect the new URL and open a "URL REGIST" dialog box.

Alternatively, just click the "URL" button to open the "URL REGIST" dialog box. Click the "ADD" button to download (record, rip, save) the video or audio streamed by the URL.

Other configuration settings to bypass streaming source that restricts media to a certain user-agent, referrer or cookie are also available.

Once the URL is added to the GetASFStream job list, click the "RED" (Record) button to start downloading. The status bar will show the downloading status. The file will be saved with ASF, WMV or WMA extension in the "C:\Program Files\GetASFStream\root" folder.

You can hit the "Open Folder" button to open the recordings folder. And you can hit the "Play" button to play back the downloaded file.

If you have problems downloading a stream, hit the "WMP" button to try to play the streaming URL in your Windows Media Player.
