WM Recorder 11 is different from 8.0. Lots of bugs were fixed. And now it can record not only Windows Media, but also Real Audio/RealVideo, Flash .FLV HTTP videos, QT HTTP video streams.
Besides the formats supported by WMRecorder,
Replay A/V can download Flash HTTP .SWF, Nullsoft video streams (AOL .NSV videos), record Sirius and XM Online radio, record SlingBox streaming video.
WM Recorder in the Real Time recording mode (PRO or ADA) can record more streams then Replay A/V. While other recorders pretend to be a Windows Media Player when recording, WM Recorder in the Real Time recording mode captures network packets coming to your Windows Media Player.
Other
media stream recorders may fail to record Windows Media streams:
- Many web sites are now changing their stream URLs right after the media player makes the connection to the stream. In this case the captured URL has no use. Only WM Recorder in the PRO mode can record such streams.
- DRM-protected and password authenticated streams are not included in the hijacked DLLs and SDKs used by the majority of stream recorders, so only WM Recorder can record them due to its unique features.
- Windows Media Player's playlists (which are sometimes used instead of .ASX metafiles) can't be recorded by many stream recorders. Although not only WM Recorder can record them.
