Can a news (like CNN) video be saved to disk?

Anyone know if an on-line video can be saved to disk, like CNN news clips, etc.? My GF's son is in a few channel 5 HS football news clips and she would like copies of them... TIA!!

Sometimes you can call CNN and ask for a copy and they will send it to you, the local news did that for my mom's best friend when her child was on tv, try that or just record it

Look for a program called video downloader on the net. It allows you to record a live feed of any video posted or avail that I know of and it becomes an add on in your browser (I use FIREFOX)

Here is it http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

CNN isn't news.

I think you can order copies of the broadcast.

It looks like you can use this to convert stream audio to a pod cast as well.

This is would be great for car talk that provides free streaming audio but charges for pod casts.

Does it work?

I haven't tried that.... good idea....

I got the progrram for copying streaming video. It works fine, but the old saying.. garbage in = garbage out. It depends on the quality of what you are capturing and your bandwidth.

Cheers

Hi X5Jay, none of the suggestions above will help you! I'm a video format junkie so here is what I know. Cnn videos are windows media streams. Videodownloader will certainly not work on that. You need to record the stream as it happens. The only program that I've gotten to work is wm recorder: http://www.wmrecorder.com/ It tricks the streaming server into thinking it's a web browsers and saves the stream to file.
