Capturing an MMS stream to diskEdit

I made these notes while attempting to save copies of the Bill Gates deposition videos, streamed over MMS, to the local drive.

The original links to the streamed content were found here:

I then used an MPlayer command-line invocation to save the files to disk:

./mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile gates1.wmv -nocache "${MMS_URL}"
