Capture Images In Real Time
Recording streaming video is also known as 'capturing streaming video', 'recording streaming video', 'downloading streaming video', 'saving streaming video' and 'ripping streaming video'. A streaming video recorder is nothing but software that stores the streamed images on the local hard drive in a format that allows you to play it back again and again. With a streaming video recorder you can store broadband streams like live streaming video, streaming news video, streaming movies and even streaming music videos.
Streaming video is the technology that delivers and displays video files to a remote computer on a network in real time. This means that the video is replayed on a screen, through a special software player, as and when it arrives at the system. In contrast to this video transmitted over a network using the conventional system of HTTP requires the video file to be 'downloaded' onto the system and then replayed through a player. In streaming technology a video clip cannot be forwarded while it is being viewed. The viewer has no choice but to wait for the file to run through before rewinding and viewing the desired parts again. HTTP video can be stopped, paused, rewound and fast forwarded as and when desired, much like a video tape or Compact disk production.
There are some formats of vide that need special streaming servers to host the video file. However, if the streaming video file is not too large the web server that hosts the site will be able to host the streaming media for the site. When it comes to recording the video, invariably there is no need for a streaming video recorder. At least not with the most common video formats such as MPEG. This is because the streaming video is, in most cases, stored in the systems memory, the hard disk, for future viewing. But when the streaming technology does not make provisions for downloading the streaming video, the need for a streaming video recorder becomes evident. There is no need for any special hardware for a streaming video recorder, in fact, many streaming video players automatically record the streaming video for you to be able to replay at a later time. These Streaming video recorders offer the following features:
- Automatic Recording
- Built-in Scheduler
- Turbo Recording - record streams at up to 5x speed.
- Record password protected videos.
- Record at the highest quality on slow connections.
- Record multiple streams at once.
- Resume recordings.
- Split and merge recordings
The formats that almost all streaming video recorders support include; Windows Media, Real Audio and Real Video, Flash Video (FLV), Mpeg, QuickTime and streaming MP3 (Shoutcast). It is not the transmitting technology that is used to deliver the streaming video to the client computer that decides if the streaming video recorder can capture the streaming images, but the ability of the streaming video recorder to capture the streaming format of the video on the network.
