Stream downloaders, rippers vs. Screen capture software

Re: Stream downloaders, rippers vs. Screen capture software

 

IMHO an experiment with recording live streams simultaneously could easily give wrong results (when you have a weak connection you make it even worth when using multiple recorders simultaneously). I think it would be much better to record 20 or more times with each program and compare the results (I would also suggest using the same computer, the same internet connection, recording the same stream). I don't think anybody will spend that much time on such an experiment.

I found out the problem is with the 593kbps live stream version of this channel, since yesterday it has stopped streaming altogether (mms://217.218.67.228/presstv) and I suspect it has something to do with the elections turmoil in Tehran.

There is, however, a lower bit rate version 302kbps of this same channel that hasn't had any problems and Wellget has been successfully recording it, along with macromaker for the scheduling.

I guess I can say the problem solved itself.
:cool: cool, isn't it?

Do you have any tutorials on how to schedule wellget with macromaker?

I'm no programmer but I could make several macros, it's as simple as can be.

Install both Wellget and macromaker and import my macros: one is only for 302kbps download and the other is for both 302 and 593kbps. You can set your pc to go on standby with another macro or even include it with your download manager macro - I like it separate.

:) Enjoy!
