noob described the difference perfectly. but you should also notice that the following terms are widely misused when talking about audio/video streams: recording, downloading, capturing, saving, ripping, dumping, snagging. While downloading is always downloading, say recording can mean downloading, capturing packets from streaming player or recording from screen.
Dumping is used by MPlayer, VLC player to describe the process of saving to hd the content that is being played by these streaming media players.
Downloading, dumping, capturing packets from a streaming player allows to get identical copies of the files being streamed. The only difference is that on-demand streams can be downloaded faster than in real time while dumping and capturing packets is always in real time (or as fast as buffering).

Both
Replay Media Catcher and
Jaksta can download streams as well as capture packets from flash player broadcasted through the HTTP protocol. In RMC this feature is called Web Stream Dumper. Jaksta can capture packets coming through the RTMP protocol, while RMC can't do that.

RMC's GUI is better, Jaksta requires .NET framework 2.0 or above to be installed, which is very inconvenient. And this kind of application uses a lot of system memory, it sometimes crashes too.
As of download/record ability, both applications are great at recording from most of media protocols. Jaksta is better in recording Windows Media streams(MMS,RTSP). RMC can split and tag songs from recording radio program.
Jaksta can't download/capture SWF verification protected videos, RMC can do it with the old plugin
There are also some useful mini tools inside RMC. Jaksta can also convert files
The most important thing is, the flexibilty to update the program, sometimes the developers make a change to RMC, you just need to download an updated plugin to replace the old one,you cant do it with Jaksta
My opinion is that RMC is better in downloading flash videos
It can split and tag songs from Pandora
And the customer service in my opinion is better,and they offer a reasonable price
when you need help,you can always ask it in RMC forum
You can also get the money refund within 30 days of your purchase
I'd say try RMC first, if you dont like, then go for Jaksta |
+1
IMHO another important thing about
Replay Media Catcher is that is allows to upgrade to the
Replay Capture Suite.
