How to save .rm files?

[zegulas]

How to save these streaming files who have the .rm extension?
Is there any software to do that?

 

[kumarmohit]

Yes there are but make sure you do not rip protected stream. Though I think it might be something like recording from radio!

Generally they are paid software look for Mini stream ripper

Just grab the url and save it using something like Orbit downloader. Why use a paid software?
To figure out the url you can use Naviscope or Safari (Activity).

Can we still save it if its rip protected?

 

[Indyan]

Can you give me an example video? I can test it myself and tell you if my method works.

Yep. Works perfectly.

Link for the 1st video : rtsp://a734.v78707.c7870.g.vr.akamaistream.net/ondemand/7/734/7870/v0001/mitstorage.download.akamai.com/7870/6/6.046j/f05/lecturenotes/ocw-6.046-07sep2005-220k.rm

Are you able to save the video file, because maybe what you did was just download the .rm file, which is very small in size compared to a full 1 hour lecture video!

all OCW files are downloadable
replace the *mfile.akamai.com/7870/rm/mitstorage.download.akamai.com/7870 with *ocw.mit.edu/ans7870 in the addresses

the files wil now become available for download

Why are you so sceptical. As I said, it works.
Here is a screenshot in case you still dont believe me.

208MB seems large enough.

yeah, orbit downloader works well..the latest version can also work with websites that have incorporated anti leeching technology...

 

[zegulas]

Ok, thanks a lot guys.
@Indyan, I said that because I tried downloading but could only download the .rm file, no matter what I did.

 

[Indyan]

What download manager did you use?
I hope you used Orbit (notice that I had specifically mentioned Orbit download manager).
Copy paste the link I provided in orbit. It will download a rm file that is 200+mb.

I used FlashGet.
