I was wondering if anyone could help me out. What I’m trying to do is record the broadcast of the kickoff tomorrow. I know how to watch it on my computer, but I don’t know about how to record it from there.
If anyone can help me, please post something or e-mail me at [email protected]
thanks so much, and good luck in the 2002 season,

Captain, team 353
I’ve been searching the answer to this question for a long time now, if you find a way e-mail me ([email protected]).
Ill let you know if i find a way between now and kickoff.

I know there are programs out there that let you record what’s going on with your computer. I can’t think of what they’re called right now, but that would probalby be your best shot. Just start recording with the program, and set the webcast to full screen. I’ll look around some and see if I can find anything.
Ok, this is the only thing I’ve found so far…

The first one, AVI desktop video recorder. I’ve never used it myself, so I don’t know how well it will work…
I know Nate Smith is going to attempt to record the kickoff feed. I’ll send him a PM and request that he let everyone know how to do it.

I’m taping it off of Dish Network Channel 213 NASA Channel.
Believe it or not, the Microsoft Windows Media Encoder can take a video screen capture of the region of your screen where the video is playing, and it will record the video and sound, and also compress and save the file, all at the same time.
If you still want to record the web cast, you can.
I’ll post step by step instructions as soon as I write them…
By the way, I don’t think the recorder mentioned above will do just a region of the screen.
UPDATE BELOW
if you have video output on your computer, you can hook it up to your VCR and record it onto a tape.
It didn’t work with streams I’m afraid…
I seem to think that screen capture programs dont record video or other stuff like that (not sure what the link is, maybe DirectX?).
Anyways, found a recorder for ASF webcasts, too bad the webcast we want is in RAM format.

I think the webcast is availabe through Windows Media Player (.asf) as well as Real Player (.ram) I’m almost positive of it cause I was watching it the other day with WMP cause’ I don’t have Real Player
just testing something ----> ¢

i read somewhere but can’t find it anymore but it said that it would be available on both .asf and .ram BUT they were going to be archiving it in .ram.
i’ll do some more searching and see what i can come up with
**edit: i found this: Via the WWW: For those of you not able to view NASA TV (or if there is some difficulty tranmitting the signal from Manchester to NASA TV) there will be an Internet Web simulcast. Please use RealPlayer 8 or higher or Windows Media Player 7 to view this event. This event will be archived in RealMedia and made available at this URL by Monday, January 7.

Assuming I can get my currently very screwed up Comcast Connection to work good enough to give me a streaming connection, I’m just going to use my TV output to record using my VCR…
People, have you ever look into your temporary folders after viewing any file from the internet, whether it be with IE, Netscape, AOL, or even Morpheous and Real Player? You know all those files with nice friendly extentions and horrible alphanumeric names? They are saved while in progress, so a stream is saved. Just look for *.ram modified within the last day in Windows Find or even, for those of you unlucky enough, Mac Finder. Sure, it takes some effort, but you’ll see your video eventually. Just a little bit of common knowledge that people overlook.

That’s true for video clip streams, but not live ones. Certainly, you should be able to save the archived video once it’s released.
Alright, if anyone has a digital copy of the webcast i’d love to have it.

Contact me if you can send it… how big did it end up being anyways? Must be huge.
I’m the source of the silly kickoff stream recording… gregT and i both have copies of the original realmedia though if you want that. like gregt said, framerate is awful but audio is golden which is why i’m trying to reencode it to divx/mpg

That would be great. Cuz our team was in the Toronto Kick-Off event and weren’t able to record it (we forgot video cam)
And FIRST hasn’t updated their site yet so I can’t find a good recording of the Kick-Off anywhere.
NASA will have a Real Archive of the Kick-Off on 1-7 on the web site with the links to the streaming video. Right click on it and, ta-da, you have it on your computer! As for recording, TechTV did a thing recently on the ScreanSavers, so go to TechTV.com and look for it.
