Hi Rodrigo,

I still don't know what video format and what streaming protocol you are
talking about. I doubt that curl would work for real or asf/wmv streams,
even if they use HTTP.
but here an example for grabbing a shoutcast mp3 stream (on the pc,
similar on the mac):

curl http://205.188.234.4:8020/>c:\foo.mp3

this will record some hiphop radio show to the file c:\foo.mp3. Press
Ctrl+C whenever you want to stop recording. The resulting file is not
really a "correct" mp3 file, just a binary mp3 dump without file header,
but most (all?) mp3 players can play it.
