I'm pretty sure that what you ask is impossible, because the company making RealPlayer doesn't want you to do this (because of copyright issues).

But, you can always try finding a program that emulates RealPlayer (ie sends the same commands to the server) but dumps the results to drive instead...don't know if such a thing exists though.

Realplayer blows.  Bad music and video quality, slow streams, awful connections...
unfortunately, in this case, you probably can't save the file, because RP sucks royally.  Any other time, go with Windows Media Player or Quicktime.

[Sir Canealot]

There is a program out there to do this but...I..ah forgot to back it up and there for have lost it...I supose I wil dig it up again then.

[MMiller8]

Oh, please do, Canealot!  Then I can defile my hard disk with video clips of awful quality and crappy sound to boot!  (Actually, a program like that might be useful!)

[Sir Canealot]

It was useful. Insted of streaming a 200 meg video clip at like 500k a sec on my 115k a sec connection I just spent about 8 hours downloading the thing.

I will ask on the message board I got it from all that time ago....

[Threesixty]

Sometimes, you can just right click the link and select the 'save target as' option.

But that usually only works with real http sites....

Never works. You just download a file that when you clock on it begins streaming it again. You need this special proggie. If I can find it..no luck yet.

[cynix]

there's a program called "StreamBox VCR" that can save streaming media to hard disk...

[Sir Canealot]

"StreamBox VCR"

Thats the bunny.
Thats what it was.

[Yuna]

Thanks Cynix...
I got StreamBox VCR 1 beta 2, 1.31 and the Suite Version + all the cracks....!!

Imagine..you can download Real Media w/ good quality (for T1 Connection - bigger files, more quality it gets)..

Wohooo, its show time.....

[Alhexx]

Yuna: Do you have T1 connection ?
If yes: WHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!!! I've got only one of these laming 56K connections...

[MMiller8]

Yuna, don't talk stupid.  There's  no such thing as a high quality Real Player clip.

[Sir Canealot]

Yes there is. I have seen many a good real player clip. But Media Player useing Div-X or ASF is much much better!

[Yuna]

Mmiller, i dont talk stupid.

I just compared a real media movies from connection categories. Example : i have download a clip for 56K(500kb), Cable(2MB) and T1(4MB). And the best result is from T1 Connection. Like i've said before, bigger file - more quality. I'm not comparing with High Quality Movies such as AVI or MPG.

I know from your post that you hate/dislike Real Media and you'd prefer using MPG or other High Quality - Big Movie Files. Thats really great.

And Alhexx, i do have T1 connection, but in my father's room (actually his home office). And i'm only have 56k in my desktop computer.

For Sir Canealot, yes i have d'l DivX plugin for real media and Media Player. Should be work now

[MMiller8]

Um, sorry for the confusion, but I WAS KIDDING!  

[Joey]

Who says. Are you new to computers or what. Hi quality realplayer files can be not streaming too. Click  http://come.to/rkenshin" TARGET=_blank>here to see zipped 4-7mb high quality Rurouni Kenshin MTVs in RealMedia format. Requires Jetcar a.k.a. Flashget (Other downloaders don't work, including IE's internal one.) If you didin't end up on the Multimedia page, browse there yourself.

[eerrrr]

Um, thats ok Joey. How can you actually stream a hi-quality clip? On my 33.6K its like watching a slideshow when I stream stuff, if I set the minimum bandwidth to a cable connection or something it still plays craply, it just makes the pictures kind of distorted.

[Joey]

@%^##! Crappy 33k modem!!! Also, some realplayer clips can be found in the Temporary Internet FilesFolder. Flash and Shockwave movies are here too.

[Joey]

Try selecting play in the prefrences -> performance -> Play from web links -> Settings. This should enhance quality. Also, does anyone here know where can I get a program that decodes RealVideo files to MPG files?

I'd think about cable, but my house isn't cable ready, and that'd be WAY TOO MUCH to spend. Free installation, my ass!
