    I can't seem to get Streambox VCR to download a video clip from the WWLTV website. I have selected the (Auto) function for type of stream but it says file font found. I maually selected it as MMS(HTTP) Protocol, but it does not download correctly. When I try to play the .asf file, it's blank.

    The stream location is at:
    http://www.wwltv.com/prl/common/video/wmPlayer.pl?title=beloint_khou&props=livenoad


    I know that this can't be illegal in any way at all - the stream is availiable for free over the Internet and is in the public domain. Any ideas on how to record this historical moment so when my kids ask "Do you remember Hurricane Katrina" I can say that I have video of it.

    StreamBox VCR is an old program and cannot correctly download some Windows Media streams. Many newer and better recorders are available.
    I would recommend GetASFstream because of it's automatic protocol selection and file indexing and it is currently the best in my opinion. Other recorders would also work as well.

    Streaming media recording software list.
