Streaming wmplayer

Just wondering if there is "Free" way to record streaming media from Windows media player.

 

Not directly into your system (with any quality anyway), but the easiest way is to hook up an external recording unit and redirect your Sound output to it. Doesn't have to be a major recording setup - could be something as simple as a handheld digital recorder.

1. Go to your Control Panel, click on Sound, then highlight Digital Output Device.
2. Click on the "Default" button to redirect you sound output to you HDMI and SPDIF connections, or whatever output connections you have. If you don't have enough, you can always use a dock.

You might have to play with the settings a bit to get the right recording limits.

If you've got the money, you can also get a program like Sound Forge, which will let you record pretty much anything on your system processed by the sound system. There are other options as well, like using a Creative Video Blaster which has pretty much any connections you need to capture A/V from your system.

In the end though, you have to weigh your ROI value as to whether or not it's worth it.

 

Thanks CV, i was afraid of that.

 

there are a few free audio programs out there as well, One off the top of my head is Goldwave, that may allow you to take an internal feed.

I doubt it will work for piracy reasons but it's worth looking into I guess
