Hello,

Thankyou for replying.....

I have tried "hidownload 6.9" and "movrecorder 1.3" to record the stream from

rtsp://tijuana.ucsd.edu/branson/physics130a/spring2003/040903_full.mp4

the above url gives you a very good quality (high bandwidth) stream.....hidownload recors only audio (but not the video) fairly decently......whereas movrecorder records both audio and video shabbily.......the file thus recorded by movrecorder is totally garbled beyong recognition........and no amount of transcoding is able to fix the file........even screencapture s/w may not be able to help me in this regard.

may be since you are in the west closer to the source recording of the stream would be far better....could you please give it a shot?

Also i have tired VLC and it records the 1st minute of video properly then disconnects (i couldn't make out anything from the logs)......mplayer also doesn't help much either.........if you know of anything else (like net transport for realmedia) please let me know....I desperately want a local copy of those files (online viewing is poor as audio breaks down)....

BTW any idea about Mpeg4ip????
I am waiting anxiously for your expert help and suggestions....

Thanks and regards
