How to install and run Replay Media Catcher on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard)

Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems like Linux and Mac OS. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would on Windows. Wine is free and you don't need Windows license to use it.

How to install Replay Media Catcher for Windows on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard)

Install Wine.
Wine on OS X binary packages are not officially provided by the Wine project. As such, packages you find on the net may be out of sync with the latest version shipped by Wine. If this is the case, it is better to build Wine from scratch. This requires to install XCode from Apple, the development package for MacOS X shipped (but not pre-installed) with your Mac.

Xcode can be installed from Mac OS DVD. It can also be downloaded from Apple web-site ( http://developer.apple.com/technologies/xcode.html - free registration required )

It is recommended you install the latest version of XQuartz (the X11 server for OSX).
- How to install Wine on Mac OS X. Method One: Prebuilt Binary
  There are no official prebuilt Wine packages for Mac. Darwine is not Wine, please don't use use it.
  
  In the meantime you can try WineBottler. It offers prebuilt diskimage (.dmg) for Mac that also works on Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6). Note that this package is not supported by WineHQ.
- How to install Wine on Mac OS X. Method Two: MacPorts/Fink
  
  Neither MacPorts nor Fink provide binary repositories for their archives. Thus installing is like building Wine from scratch, using the respective package management tool.
  
  MacPorts provides an easy way to compile and install Wine. To see what version of Wine is current supported for MacPorts use the search command:
  Code:
```
$ port search wine
wine @1.0.1 (x11)
    Wine Is Not an Emulator
wine-crossover-games @8.1.0. (x11)
    Wine Is Not an Emulator (1.1.25 with CodeWeavers modifications)
wine-devel @1.1.40 (x11)
    Wine Is Not an Emulator
winetricks @20100201 (x11)
    downloads and installs various redistributable runtime libraries
Found 4 ports.
```
  To install Wine using Macports, run the following in the Terminal:
  Code:
```
sudo port install wine
sudo port install winetricks
```
  Alternatively you can use Fink which is similar to MacPorts, just that its packaging system is based on Debian's dpkg and apt.
  Code:
```
$ fink list wine
     wine                  1.1.13-100       Microsoft Windows compatibility layer
     wine-dev              1.1.13-100       Microsoft Windows compatibility layer
     winetricks            20090106-1       Install redistributable runtime tools in Wine
```
- How to install Wine on Mac OS X. Method Three: Do It Yourself
  
  As neither MacPorts nor Fink provide binary repositories, "installing" is similar to building Wine: in any case, all of Wine need be compiled.
Download Replay Media Catcher.
Double-click on the downloaded file (RCATSetup.exe) (alternatively you can right-click on it, select "Open with" and then select "Wine"
Install Replay Media Catcher (the same way you usually install any Windows software)

How to use Replay Media Catcher for Windows in Mac OS X

If you have installed WineBottler:
Go to Places -> Your user name -> Wine Files -> drive_c -> Program Files -> Replay Media Catcher

If you have installed Wine using MacPorts or fink:
Go to Places -> Your user name -> .wine -> drive_c -> Program Files -> Replay Media Catcher

Alternatively you can run Replay Media Catcher from a command line:
Code:
```
cd ~/Wine\ Files/drive_c/Program\ Files/Replay\ Media\ Catcher/
wine MediaCatcher.exe
```
or
Code:
```
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Replay\ Media\ Catcher/
wine MediaCatcher.exe
```
Please note that " " (spaces)" are replaced with "\ " .

If you get the "The procedure * could not be located in the DLL MFC42.DLL." error, download mfc42.dll and copy it into the Windows/System32/ folder:
Code:
```
~/Wine\ Files/drive_c/windows/system32
```
or
Code:
```
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
```
and launch Replay Media Catcher again.
Now you can record audio and video streams with Replay Media Catcher (RMC). It detects stream URLs automatically. The problem is that RMC can't get stream URLs from Mac OS browsers including Safari, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, so you need to install a browser for Windows:
- Firefox for Windows with Adobe Flash Player for Windows
- Opera 10 for Windows with Adobe Flash Player for Windows
After running Replay Media Catcher for Windows on Mac OS X and starting recording with it, open a web-browser for Windows.

To launch Firefox for Windows on Mac OS:
Go to Places -> Your user name -> [Wine directory] -> drive_c -> Program Files -> Mozilla Firefox and launch firefox.exe by double-clicking on it (alternatively you can right-click on it, select "Open with" and then select "Wine").

Note: Don't forget to install a web browser for Windows and Adobe Flash Player for Windows to play online flash videos.
Navigate to a web-page and play your audio/video stream. Replay Media Catcher will start downloading automatically.

Problems using Replay Media Catcher for Windows on Mac OS X with Wine:

If you get the following error when running Replay Media Catcher
Code:
```
the procedure * could not be located in the DLL MFC42.dll
```
then you need a different version of MFC42.DLL to be copied to Windows/System32.
I used Replay Media Catcher 3.11 on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard) with Wine and it crashed. All my browsers for Windows became frozen. I rebooted my computer and they started working again.

I renamed FLVSsrvc.exe in the Replay Media Catcher folder (it is used for the Video History Tool) and then was able to use RMC. After rebooting I renamed the FLVSsrvc.exe back and was able to record.

Like in Wine for Linux, it is better to reboot your computer after installing RMC.

Strangely enough making RMC to work on Mac OS X appeared to be more difficult than on Ubuntu Linux, but at least it works.

The above mentioned tests of Replay Media Catcher 3.11 were done on Mac OS X Snow Leopard with WineBottler Combo 1.1.35

I'm trying to install Replay Media Catcher with WineBottler (1.1.35) and Snow Leopard 10.6.2. Everything seems to be going fine until the very end of the installation. Replay Media Catcher's installer says "Installation Successful" and when I click "Exit" from Relay Media Catcher's installer, WineBottler seems to enter an infinite loop. I've pasted my WineBottler log below:

The latest versions of wine don't really work for me. I prefer to use wine 1.0.1 which is really stable.

Have you tried to launch Replay Media Catcher after the problem with installation?

Here is a video tutorial from Applian.

How to Download Streaming Videos on a Mac using Replay Media Catcher and WINE

I must admit that I've learned a lot from it. Applian team knows much more about Mac OS and Wine in MacOS than I do.

I am about to post the 1 million dollar question:
how about viruses with wine? is it possible?
I would like to try to install it, but I am a little uneasy...
I googled for an answer, some say yes, some say no, some say only the wine folder...

Installing wine is easy:
How to install Wine on Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard)

Any application can contain a virus. You can run good applications for Windows using wine and you can run the ones that have viruses, malware, spyware in them.
Wine itself is an open source project used by millions of people, so it is safe to use.
