WMR might be powerful (but has serious problems with the test url, see thread) but is neither fun nor attractive nor easy/logical to use. (too much reading required). it is missing a wizard too. in contrast, Replay Media Catcher is easy, pretty, and real fun. |
Since
WM Recorder is developed All Alex Inc. it has different versioning.
WMR was the first stream recorder that was able to record streaming media automatically. It had lots of fans because it was easy to use as well as very powerful.
WMR is different from
Replay Media Catcher. It is really good that these products are not just clones.
If you have suggestions how to make it easier to use, I guess Alex will be glad to hear them.

There will be more and more protected streams I suppose. That is why Alex added support of RTMP streams to WMR and developed
WM Capture, I suppose. I hope to see more features and more software from Alex, IMHO he is a great developer and his products are very stable.

MSN video was using Flash videos until recently. Now MS has Smooth Streaming that seems to work in Windows, Linux and Mac OS, so we will see who will win this battle. Anyway competition forces both companies to offer better products.

And you use RMC, Jaksta and stream-recorder.com. Are you biased or work for Applian?
