Save Streaming Media Files (Including .ASX)

In case you ever wanted to save a local copy of that streaming movie trailer or funny video a friend sent, there's a neat little program called SDP (Streaming Download Project) Reciever which allows you to do this.  Best of all, it's freeware.

It's available here: http://sdp.ppona.com/

Tried it; doesn't work on .wav or .mp3 urls
What DOES it work on?

Jason Nadal said:

.wav or .mp3 urls can just be saved straightforwardly by "Save Target As...". This program is for files that are purely streamed (like .asx files stream .wmv files and .ram files stream .rm files).

The download links are not working on that page. Can the program be found anywhere else?
Thanks.

The download links on that page are in fact working... you'lll want to choose "SDP reciever" under the "products and info" dropdown list under "Free Downloads"

This program tries to run as 16bit and freezes. What can be the problem?

Haven't needed to, so I haven't researched it much.  A cursory search of google for:

convert asx to wma

yields many programs that may work for it... Good Luck!

Looks good but I can't get it to do RAM files.

Says: You are trying to access a Real Networks file type

SDP does not support connection to Real Networks locations

Bummer.

NetworkMiner can also be used to download video or audio files from for example YouTube, Last.fm or The Hype Machine. Read the step-by-step instruction tutorial at:

Are you an ASX expert?  If so, please respond back.  Check out freetrafficcam.com or 3tcam.com.  We get live video to mobile phones and need a way to take some ASX stuff off a web site and get it into our application.

SDP is superb.  I was able to download a media file fm website.

But the connection speed control (TCP/Cable) is disabled.. so download will be a bit slow.

However it is worth it , to download a file which you love to be on your harddisk......

Thanks, it worked fine. I tried it on a wmv in videolectures.net, the video kept buffering and never started!

hey any chance for SDP to download multiple segements of the source video (just like those download managers do for regular files)? thanks.
