We all knew this day would come....
Someone in my stake wants to show part of the PBS Mormon documentary as
part of a priesthood talk. What I need to get is the interview with
Elder Jensen when he talks about how his mission changed his life. I
found it on PBS.org (http://www.pbs.org/mormons/view/) and can view it
on my computer. Of course it is a streamed video, so I went to the
cache and found the ASX file. Editing the file, I found the MMS URL but
that is where I get stuck.
I have never found a way to just file-save save the stream to a file. I
have found a number of shareware/freeware/trialware programs that are
supposed to help me do this
(http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/record-streaming-vid
eo-windows-media.htm), and have tried most of them with little
satisfaction.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

PS. Yes, I think this is fair use and therefore have little concern for
copyright issues.

mplayer supports a mode where you give it an URL to an asx file, it
will parse the file and then play the stream, BUT you can also dump
that stream to a file using the -dumpstream command line option, if
you also use -dumpfile <filename> it will dump the stream to that file
(otherwise it uses ./stream.dump). From there you should be able to
transcode it to whatever format your heart desires. It all depends on
how the streaming server is setup though. There may be other options
as well, just one I have used in the past.
