- Offline Explorer Pro 4.6good for specific purposes! - Offline browser - downloads any Web, FTP, HTTPS, MMS and RTSP sites.
Only Pro version of the award winning Offline Explorer product supports MMS (Microsoft Media Player stream files) and RTSP (Real Player stream files) protocols.
Offline Explorer Pro can download your favorite
- Web,
- FTP,
- HTTPS,
- MMS,
- RTSP,
- PNM
sites (up to 500 simultaneously) at the highest possible speed.
It supports all modern Web technologies, including Flash, XML, Director, RealMedia, VRML, etc. You can browse, data mine, search, export to CD or perform other operations on downloaded sites using a clear, intuitive and convenient user interface.
While I've been using Offline Explorer as an offline browser for years, I do not consider it as the best program to record streaming media. It has too few features to be a good stream recorder. Though it could be very useful for some specific purposes. For example, if you need to download a web-site with a huge number of small media streams. I used it to download hundreds of pages from an educational web-site containing dozens of audio streams. No doubt it was the best alternative.
OS: Windows 98/me/NT4.0/2000/XP.

- WM Recorder Editor's choice!
WM Recorder records any Windows Media video and audio.
It works by watching internet activity relating to Window Media Player, and assembling the streamed data as an ASF file, which can then be played using Windows Media Player on your PC or many portable devices. Other non-asf media files as MP3, MPEG, AVI or WAV can also be recorded.
WM Recorder can record almost any Windows Media Stream. WM Recorder can NOT record:
- Content protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM).
Unlike many other VCR style recorders WM Recorder can record at the highest quality on slow connections, build and record playlists, record multiple streams at once, split and merge files, and more.
But as a VCR style recorder WM Recorder is extremely easy to use. With just one click, any streamed Windows Media link is saved as a recorded file on your PC automatically.
WM Recorder has advanced features like file reprocessing and automatic connection speed detection.
You can make a Recorded ASF File Seekable while recording or later using Reprocess function!
Resume Recording function allow you to restart recording from where you left off. This only works in URL Mode. Note: Only seekable streams can be resumed. Continuous (live) streams cannot be resumed.

- Content protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM) video/audio could not be recorded.
