Idea for a new recording method

[kwm]

Hello,

I had an idea that I wanted to share with everyone in the hopes that it might benefit someone with the skills to put it into action. It seems like a lot of recording programs are trying to re-invent the wheel. The swf file that shows the video already does the work of connecting to the server,providing creditials, and downloading the data. ActionScript is easy to decode from the swf, edit, then re-encode. So, I think it might be possible to edit the AS to save the stream, then use proxy software so that the local edited copy is used instead of the original. If this works then it would be possible to copy/paste the changes into a wide range of swf files with very little tweaking. Over the next few weeks I'm going to experiment with this. But my programming skills are weak, so if anyone wants to beat me to the punch, go for it. I welcome any constructive criticism of this idea.

Thanks
