Windows Media Streams:
Windows Media metafiles (redirectors):
ASF Recorders allows to capture ASF stream and save it as a file.
Some Stream Recorders allow to save only Streaming Windows Media
(which you probably watch using Windows Media Player).
Other Streaming Video Recording Software allows you to download not only
Windows Media Streams, but also Real Media Streams
(Real Video and Real Audio, which could be played by RealPlayer or RealOne Player).
RTSP, HTTP, and MMS protocols are used for Streaming Windows Media (Starting with Windows Media Player 9 Series, Windows Media Services 9 Series and Windows Server 2003 RTSP Protocol is now the default protocol for streaming Windows Media).
Some Streaming Media Recorders can automatically rollover to different protocols (if protocol rollover is supported by the server and switched on). RTSP protocol is supported by few programs like HiDownload and StreamDown. Due to RTSP protocol rollover problem in many cases Streaming Windows Media couldn't be downloaded by old software. So please download the latest versions of Stream Recorders supporting RTSP for Streaming Windows Media before asking a question.
Note that some Windows Media Recorders like WM Recorder can make ASF file seekable.
If yow want to make already downloaded ASF files seekable, repair, join or split Windows Media,
