Video stream capturing from silverlight from the nbcolympics.com

The reason I ask is because they say that they have digitally watermarked the videos, so they can telll where they came from. Im not familiar with Silverline, I usually record from encrypted wmv streams only.
Does silverline add any of my computers info into the video so that it can be tracked to my pc/IP? Sounds a bit bizzare if they would do this, but I dont know, there isnt even drm on the files they stream...seems too easy.

Streaming video recorders should be used as personal archiving tools only. It means that you shouldn't distribute any recorded content. And obviously if you don't distribute anything, there is no difference whether a content provider is using watermarks or not.

When recording streaming content, you can be tracked in many cases. WM Recorder in the PRO mode (when recording Windows Media and Real Media streams), FLV Recorder and MovRecorder capture packets from your local computer. Other media stream recorders usually create a separate thread for recording (another one is used for playing your stream), that is why theoretically you can be detected.

Big Dog, can WM Recorder be used to schedule recordings ? Also, is there some reason that WM Recorder can record the Olympic Broadcasts and Replay AV 8 can't? TX:confused:

Also, WM Recorder should NOT be able to Record the olympics from nbcolympics.com as it's silverlight, and pretty difficult to capture by the means WM Recorder records.

How about if you just uninstall Silverlight? I am trying to get Phelps #7 medal from the official NBC Olympics site. Does uninstalling Silverlight make the capture any better or easier?
