 Home : VideoRecorder : ASFRecorder v1.1

This tool enables you to download streaming content in Windows Media Format to your hard drive. The resulting files will be in ASF format and can be played with Windows Media Player and derived tools. You may call this the "DeCSS" for Windows Media - although neither any serious reverse-engineering nor any particular knowledge about protcols was necessary to program this simple application. Development time overall: several hours for a first, working streaming code and some more days for general performance tweaking, cross-platform portability, the Windows graphical user interface and the XML (redirection file) parser.

Advantages/special features of this utility :
  • With this utility it is possible to download high-quality (high bandwith) content using a low-bandwidth connection (e.g. modem) for later and repeated replay.
  • You can record live video content from web cams and internet broadcasts that you can't record otherwise.
  • The code is written in portable ANSI-C, so it can be compiled on many operating systems. The INTEL byte-ordering of the data stream is processed in a system-independent manner. Only the GUI code is windows-specific and is limited to a Windows platform. Download a stream at university/at work on Unix systems and enjoy it at home on your PC.
  • This tool is using a HTTP streaming protocol. HTTP is a connection-oriented protocol based on TCP. The protocol layer has built in error correction (ARQ). So packet loss does not have any influence on visual or acoustic quality of the downloaded stream. You will always get the same quality that the source stream on the media server can offer.
  • HTTP streaming passes most firewalls. UDP does not. That is the only reason why it was implemented by Microsoft.
  • This utility supports automatic resuming of an interrupted download.
  • This utility does _not_ send detailed information about your computer system to the media server, as the Windows Media Player does.
