need an application to capture streamed videos

[Adel Ahmed]

I am completing my migration from windows, I was using using applian's replay media capture to automatically capture my streamed videos
is there asimilar application in gentoo, I mainly need to automatically capture streamed videos(no manual intervention), and gui is preferred if that is possible of course


thanks

Well, I would like to record the videos being streamed, and by automatic I mean the videos get recorded without me typing in some sort of URL
thanks though

if applian's replay media catcher is exactly what you are looking for, It can run under Linux thanks to Wine : http://voices.yahoo.com/how-replay-media-catcher-linux-using-wine-2690806.html

seems I'm a little picky, I kinda need it to run on Opera without any complications

I'm starting to think that solution is not natively available

thanks for ur time everyone, ill just record on a vm or something

Actually you don't need any proprietary software in Linux. You can record whatever you want at the screen using native open source tools. Except you'll have to configure it manually. The experience we have. Do not hesitate to ask

Recording streaming media by capturing the screen and re-encoding it sounds like a horrible solution.

I second that
well I see rmc uses ffmpeg so ill try my luck with that tool

Not that I've ever done it, but I thought VLC has the ability to capture and save/record streaming video?

EDIT: Yep, just tried VLC with a URL of a YouTube video and it worked. Did it all via the VLC GUI and saved the streamed video to a .mp4 file.
