If someone
really needs and wants a big bundle of tools, then the comparison is between WM Recorder Bundle vs.
Replay Capture Suite. At one point in my life
i had both program suites installed on my system. I also had installed the full
Nero 10 Multimedia suite (the trial setup.exe extracts 1.63GB to \Temp\-dir, from which the proper Nero 10 setup is started!) at that time. After working with the PC for days, weeks, and months, i noticed that i use only 1-2 modules of Replay Capture Suite, and only 1-2 modules of Nero 10, and only 1 module of the WM Recorder Bundle.
After realizing the above, it quickly de-installed everything
and purchased only the core products. Looking at
Jaksta (
Replay Media Catcher 4), the core product, or let's say "key product" of this forum, is software which saves the stream lossless, in 100% original bits and bytes, 1:1, to your harddisk, without any lossy conversion in between.
If you can save 100% original streaming server files, then this is the preferred method. Replay Media Catcher (the core product of Applian.com *imho*) does exactly that and is extremely easy to use. And since i got in love with RMC already, there wasnt any need to look further (e.g.
WM Recorder). I would spend my money on RMC, and get the other Applian utilities (
Replay Music,
Replay Telecorder , Replay Converter, etc.) "for free" with trialpay .. but only if you really need them. Search the following webpage for the term < trialpay >

Btw, there are often discounted offers on Replay Capture Suite -- to get the most for your money. But you can save the money if you just focus on the key product: a software which saves original bits and bytes. Again, compare the websites of applian.com and jaksta.com.
RMC and WM Recorder can download the same variety of internet streams (RTSP, MMS, RTMP, HTTP, etc.) -- so it's a matter of taste (REALLY!) which one you choose. Let us know!
