Anything you can play using mplayer can be dumped, including castup streams. It's just a matter of finding the correct URL for it. For galatz stream, just use: $ mplayer -dumpstream mms://stream.msn.co.il/glz-stream When your done the file is named stream.dump, and is the same format as the stream: $ file stream.dump stream.dump: Microsoft ASF They do seem to make life hard tracking streams sometimes (it seems like Keshet, Reshet and channel10 are in some kind of competition here, but Keshet wins bigtime). So after a bit of hacking, the file you are interested is actually at http://s3cdl.castup.net/server12/25188434-95.flv, so no need to use mplayer at all.. :) --y -- Yuval Hager [T] +972-77-341-4155 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
