Saving streaming video
In my job (college lecturer) you might want to show a video clip from the Internet but, for lots of reasons, you can't guarantee to have Internet access just when you need it.My fallback is to save the clip to your hard drive or memory stick, but this option is often disabled in Windows Media Player and other players.
A successful (and free) solution is Net Transport, a download manager which will download using FTP & HTTP protocols but also MMS (for Windows Media Player) and RTSP (for RealMedia). It runs standalone and also adds an extra right-mouse menu option into Internet Explorer so that you can download streams without leaving IE.
The download link at Exciting Software is temperamental (think it's in Shanghai) but it's worth persevering. Kevin Wang's done a very professional job.
