Unfortunately Real Audio / Video files are always quite tricky because of their proprietary nature. Haven't had a chance to experiment with these or with a Mac, so wouldn't be able to help. But you might try some specific bulletin boards / support forums to see if you get a response there... Thanks CJ, and your blog post is quite informative too!

I have a similar one but maybe more general about how to rip RealMedia and Microsoft Media streams here: http://unclecj.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-download-webradio-and-webtv.html Anyway, there's one thing I still haven't succeeded in and tried using your advice for - playing the captured realaudio (.rm) in Videolan (on Mac) in an attempt to convert it to wav saved to file. No success... and I don't know how to get realmedia support into the ancient MPlayer OS X either. Any suggestions? Hey, nice little tutorial.

I did the above using the Windows version of VLC. Something seems to be recording, but the video isn't playing in VLC. I know it's recording something, as the file I requested to save is getting bigger and bigger (can see this through "Refresh" of the directory). How can I view what it's recording? What's the best file format to save in? I saw a few mpeg formats, mp4, mov, etc. I just had the first one checked. Hi. I did the above using the Windows version of VLC.

I followed the steps and a file was produced but it didn't have any file association and it wouldn't play using any of the various players I have. This didn’t work for me.

This is the "pro"s tool who knows exactly what s/he wants but is looking for the correct tool. Thi plug-in doesn't just give you the videos for a couple of supported web sites, it actually gives you the possibility to use the underlying techniqeus to get them. When you don't get it another way, you still may get it with this tool. This is exactly what I had been looking for!

I am not sure what might be going wrong here. Try posting a query at the VideoLan Support forums at http://forum.videolan.org/ to see if you can get some help there.
