How to record video stream from iransima.ir (Windows Media .wmv mms stream)

Ok, I have come across a website that seems impossible to download from. The problem is that before the main video is loaded, it first plays a 5 second ad, after this ad the video is loaded. Therefore the video recorders only download the ad and nothing else. The url is the same, the video does not have the same url.

Forgot to add, hope someone knows a way to download past the ad.

There are too many stream recorders to try. My favorite one is WM Recorder. Try to use it in the PRO mode, this allows you to capture Windows media streams from WMP instead of downloading them. One of the best solutions I have tested.

I was also able to download with NetTransport.

Cool, yes. It first downloads the ad, and then continues downloading the main video.

Interestingly enough, the downloaded files only play audio, and the video is black. When I check the files for info it does seem to have video, and it renders well, but the video just does not work in wmp. Could this have anything to do with with net tranport?

Oops! I can't play it either. There seems to be the problem with net transport. I've asked its developer to check it out.

And hopefully Replay AV, Mass Downloader, HiDownload will make the necessary changes in the stream recorders very soon.

And can you watch the stream (not the recorded file) in the WMP? The only thing I have is the sound.

If they have video you can't watch, you should contact the web-site support and ask for the system requirements.
