www.neulion.com: Problem capturing mms:// .wmv video stream

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

Hey all. Has anyone else ever come across something like this when trying to download an mms stream?

mms://cdncon.wmod.llnwd.net/fc/a277/e3/s/ahl/ahl/vod/wmv/20090525_MooseAeros_AHL.wmv?eid=2229&pid=2234&gid=101&e=1243607760&h=38c2170e1a8e612c46359c544d2202f3]]

I've tried everything, but I only get a 14kb referral file and not the actual stream. URL Snooper does fine (obviously since I have the URL), and NetTransport records the file fine, but this is obviously not the actual file. I've tried many things to find it, but I'm still stumped. I tried removing the id and tags after ".wmv", but got the same result. I opened the downloaded file in notepad looking for the source file URL, but nothing. I tried capturing it with Replay Media Catcher, but it also only captures the 14k referral file and not the source file!

I'm trying to grab all the AHL playoff game highlights from this site:

http://ahl.neulion.com/team/console.jsp?&ref=A_B_AHLLive_theahl.com_040809&utm_source=theahl.com&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_content=AHLLive_CalderCup_2009_AHL&utm_campaign=AHLLive_CalderCup_2009_AHL-040809

but every single file is linked through this lousy MMS referral file system and no true source streams are being detected or captured for me. Can anyone help me? Thanks a ton for any and all input!

I could download from the highlights section of neulion.com using both RMC and Jaksta. The mms link you have provided is no longer valid and results in Jaksta and Replay Media Catcher (RMC) recording an audio message staying the link is invalid. Which highlight are you trying to get?

I recommend WM Recorder or freeware WebVideoCap for capturing Windows Media streams. Both programs allow you to capture packets coming to your Windows Media Player, so they can save more Windows Media streams than other software.
