Saving A Windows Media File ?

Seles · 27th August 2002, 09:35

I have a windows media file - video file in .asx format playing on my windows media player. Is there anyway to save this to my harddrive and then burn it to a cd to keep forever? It's a video that I'd like to have preserved. There is no 'save as' option and right clicking does nothing. I've found the URL of the file itself, and saving only has an option of saving the .html file not the media content alone, which is what I'm after.

Thanks for anyone who can help me.

Cd's don't last forever. But that's not helping you, so sorry about this pointless postpump. I just had to

I suppose it doesn't matter now that you already have it, but I don't think we are allowed to talk about streamrippers here anymore.
