HOW TO CAPTURE VIDEO FROM INTERNET

The following programmes have been designed to capture streaming video from the net.

aTube Catcher, previously known as YouTube Catcher or You Tube Video Catcher, is an open source program utility that allows users to extract, download and save Flash based embedded video clips from various video sharing and hosting sites, including YouTube, XTube, MySpace, Stage6, Google Video and Yahoo!, and then automatically convert and export to other file formats and encoding including MPG, AVI, MP4, 3GP, 3G2, WMV, PSP, MOV, and the fash video FLV itself, depending on your choice.

aTube Catcher also allows users to set the video quality they wanted for the downloaded video. Other video encoding options such as size, frame rate, aspect, video codec, file format, audio codec, audio sampling, quality and motion search can be manually configured as well.

You can use atube catcher (freeware) to download video or audio when you have access to the URL.

On the other hand, you have to use Wm recorder (shareware) when the URL is hidden in a small text file called metafile. Wm recorder is the best way in these cases.
