Is it possible to capture streaming video and streaming audio?
In principle, there is no way to prevent a user from capturing streaming video and audio that has been delivered to their computer. Thus, the efforts of broadcasters to prevent this consist of making the process of capturing inconvenient, or illegal, or both.
Broadcasters can make it inconvenient to capture a stream, for example, by using unpublished data formats or by using Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection. But any video from screen can be recorded with
screen video capture software and any audio from sound card can be recorded with direct sound recording software.
You can use special software to capture Windows Media Streams, Real Video/Audio Streams, like Replay Capture Suite, WM Recorder Bonus Bundle.
Multiformat recorders can capture several types of video and audio streams (like Flash video and audio, Windows Media, RealVideo, RealAudio, QuickTime Video, Shoutcast/Icecast radio).
