RealPlayer 11 Beta (Windows) Features Audio/Video Stream Ripper

[DudeAsInCool]

"The new RealPlayer is a much-improved piece of software from earlier versions, and the ability to save video streams is a handy feature, one that I hope RealNetworks improves so that it works with all video files and web browsers. While Real may not ever gain back the mindshare it had in earlier days, it has at least shown that it can write decent and innovative software again. Content producers may not like the ease in which users can download files that were once only available via a stream, but they can always add DRM to take away this ability again if they are overly protective of their content."

late versions are ok but the .rm format is useless and dead. Use winamp to record streams
