A few posts back someone asked how to record WM streams, but i was wondering how to record RM (RealMedia) streams. i use Streambox Vcr Suite but it does not record movie smoothly, it skips like 1/2 sec for every sec. Sound is fine.
Any ideas of other freeware to record RealMedia?

BTW I have tried R7C Real7ime Converter, but it has yet to work. It always gives me an error: "** Can't begin decompress (I420) (err=-1d 0h)" . Else its suposed to be good, anyone tried?

Any other programs?

Thanks for any help.

For other Streams i use Streambox Vcr Suite 2 the program is ok an. The record movies are not very smooth (RM recorder is VERY smooth compared to this... ) if any-one knows a better program please share as im really looking for a good freeware, this one is the only one i could find. (Works for almost all media streams)

---How to use them---
>Just right click on the link to the file which you wanna record, "select save" as.
>The go on on the appropriate program select "file > Open" and open the file you "saved as".
>Then for SDP select GO! and it will start recording. For Streambox it will ask you about each individual stream, ect. you ll need to experiment depending on the stream.
*Sometimes they'll give you an error, trying again will sometimes help.

I'm not sure how the RealMedia streaming system works, do you know what does it start with. (example xxx:// (Just open the file with notepad.).).

Anyhow, I have been using HiDownload lately.  It is able to download ShoutCAST, MMS, RTSP, iTunes and BBC radio broadcasts, it's nice.
