Capturing live webcasts

Post by even13flow »

I know that quite a few people from around here have the ability to capture live webcasts, I'm wondering if someone can tell me how/what programs they are using. I'm planning on filming a show on June 1st, but the concert will also be webcast via the venue's website and am hoping to get both so that I might be abl? to include a song or two from the webcast.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jake, for streams I use WM Recorder (Click) Simple to use, just awesome. There are earlier versions of the program out there which are freeware and work perfectly fine.




Although WM Recorder does work for webvideos as well, for webvideos I'm using Replay Media Catcher (CLICK). It is awesome, never had one single problem with it. You'd have to buy a license in order to be able to record longer streams and without watermark but it is very cheap.




I'd recommend to get both and try which one works best for you.
We're not in this alone.

Replay media catcher is the best. It will record almost anything , music and any video you can watch online. You will have to get the full version though ..because the demo will remove the last 25 % of the recording.

Well, in my opinion it was pretty good for webcast, but the sound was muddled and thin, overall decent, at the beginning of the show dino's guitars didn't work as they should have and why the hell they didn't play Industrial Discipline and Christploitation :( Still kickass, cant wait to see them in late of june
