Hi, i'm sorry to bother you, but I figured you might know the answer to my question based on the following video

WM Recorder: How to Capture Streaming Video from online sources



Okay, so I got WM Recorder 12, installed it, works fine. Now, I went to the website www . hulu . com, after I saw you using it, and I decided to try to record a full length movie(Liar Liar ;p). The problem I am running into is that they play a short advertisement prior to the movie, and the WM Recorder is recording the advertisement, but when the movie starts, however, it does not "recognize", for lack of a better word, the full length film, only the advertisement.

Are you aware of any way around this, or shall I just forget that idea?

Thanks in advance.

p.s. I have tried other stream downloading methods, and none of them seem to recognize the feature film as a "downloadable file", only the advertisement.

Unfortunately, due to copyright reasons, WM Recorder is NOT able to record from hulu at the moment.

At the moment, you may want to try Replay Media Catcher or a Screen Capture program. Those work fine for now.

I did speak with the developer of WM Recorder btw, and he is still looking into the possibility of recording from hulu again, but for now it's unknown.

Good luck!

The ability to save any media that comes across my screen for fair use is THE ENTIRE REASON I PURCHASED WMRECORDER. I could give you a million legal reasons for wanting to save a hulu stream.

If WMRecorder is bowing to Hulu's wishes to disable stream recording, then WMRecorder is missing the point entirely and is a dinosaur. Would you have me break out my VCR?!

Lame.

WM Recorder offers a 30-day unconditional money-back guarantee.

WM Recorder can't record from Hulu, because Hulu uses secure RTMPE protocol. All stream recorders that record RTMPE streams violate DMCA.

But you can record Hulu videos from screen using WM Capture.
