I'm in a bit of a time crunch
I have limited time access to some stored web cam sports recordings and would love to get copies before they are off of the server. (within a day I think they will be gone)

I purchased WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WMRecorder-One-click-online-audio-video-stream-recorder.htm) and have it set up with defaults except for file location and I set max size to 4TB. The source video is about 2.2 hours in real-time length. It starts PERFECTLY and is recording the stream just great. The live stream continues however long after the recording indicates "complete".

I check the recording and sure enough - it ends too early - it is not complete. Probably about 1/3 complete actually.

My question: How do I get WM Recorder to keep recording the stream?

I am trying something this time - I set the "mode" to "pro" to see what that would do... I'll know in a while.

Some other info:
The site does require authentication which I supply just before I begin the recording. (each time)

Any advice?
Thanks!

Update:
It looks like the "pro" setting is getting it done.
I am well over one hour into the stream and it is still recording - so far so good!

If I should look at anything else - please let me know.
Thanks

The PRO mode of WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WMRecorder-One-click-online-audio-video-stream-recorder.htm) allows to capture packets from Windows Media Player and Real Player, so it is recommended for live streams.

Depending on your connection you may prefer to use WM Capture (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-from-screen/WM-Capture-screen-video-capture-software-that-records-with-high-quality.htm) or any other screen video capture software (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-from-screen/) for live streams. Although IMHO WM Recorder is very good for live Windows Media streams.
