What part doesn't work? Any error message? And are you the same unregistered guest as the one just before?

Re: Protecting videos

Hi
I have videos on a streaming server but I find it very expensive.
I'm looking for a way to prevent "the average surfer" from stealing my videos on a regular server.
I've recently read about putting videos in asx files but I don't understand it yet.
I know that there are programs out there that can copy streamed videos but I'm talking about the average surfer.
Can someone help me on this matter?
Thanks, Henri

Read my post in FAQ http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=4992 where I deal with meta-files.

While the implementation of ASX presented there refers more to audio files, you can use the exact same model to handle video files.

This combined with extra information from http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de..._reference.asp should help you.

Note that an .asx meta file can be used for .wmv, .mpg and .avi files, as well as for .asf, .wma and .mp3 audio files. Quite possibly a few more file types too.

Of course, anybody who's got a bit of knowledge in such matters will be able to strip the file from the .asx file quite easily, by the methods we've posted here in this forum.

I do have some idea of how to protect that though. I haven't tried any yet but I'd like to take a crack at it. I will post something to this effect as soon as I confirm my hunches.

Re: .asx to .mp3? (my turn!)

[COLOR=Indigo]Okay, now it's my turn. :( I've read all five pages of posts in this thread, and I am having a similar problem in that after I record and try to replay the track, I get nothing but static. Previously, I got nothing, even though all the recording control levels were maxed. Now, all of the sudden, I am getting sound, but its just static.

Here is the URL. I was just trying to save it as a wav file:

Any suggestions, o wise ones? :smile2:

Yes: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=4992
and: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=5362

By using the notions in the first FAQ thread, I downloaded the asx file - which is a meta file for streaming through Windows Media player.

Here is the content of the asx file, after I opened it with Notepad:

Code:

<ASX VERSION="3.0">
 <ENTRY>
  <REF HREF="mms://a827.v31715.c3171.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/827/3171/v0001/muze.download.akamai.com/2890/us/uswm2/328/19328_1_01.wm2" />
 </ENTRY>
</ASX>

The file you need to download is the one contained in the <REF HREF=....> tag.

You cannot download it as it is from a streaming server (as indicated by the protocol mms:// ). So you apply the notions in the second FAQ thread I give you.

Bottom line: Use WMP to play your asx file and capture the wav through dMC Auxiliary input. Then convert to whatever you want. Or capture directly to mp3 or wma ....

Oh, and don't forget to adjust the Volume control settings for recording (from the volume icon in your task bar): input source is Stereo Mix or something similar (it depends on your sound card and the program that controls it). Make sure other input sources are muted or inactive, such as microphone and cd player.

Re: .asx to .mp3?

Thanks alot,

This thread was very helpful, i just starting using dmc auxiliary input and I love it.

One thing to newbies that might be tripping them up, the no sound problem, is to enable sterio mix in the recording volume properties window, and select that. It took me a minute to figure how to turn that on.

Re: .asx to .mp3?

"If you see something less common like mms:// in front of a file name, then you are dealing with a streaming server and most likely you cannot save the media file directly to disk. In that case you will have to use dMC Auxiliary Input to play the meta file and capture the audio (best to capture to .wav), before you convert to anything."

Hi!
I was reading your notes just then and I tried to record a downloaded asx file with dmc auxiliary input with the asx file playing by wmp. I pressed Record button but it doesn't record properly... What should I do?
And one more what should I do to get the streaming movie from the internet?

Thanks!

Re: .asx to .mp3?

.asx refers tot he meta file - it is no the actual audio file.

So read this http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=4992 and get your actual audio file from there.

Note: A file has to be downloaded onto your pc in order to use dMC to convert it. If you cannot download it, then use dMC Auxiliary input and record an audio file from the player that plays it off the web.

**Newbie** · August 09, 2004, 12:45 AM

Re: .asx to .mp3?

I've got two computers and one has the asx files(streaming audio) and I can play it anytime and the other computer has the dmc auxiliary input and those computers are connected with the line. Whenever I play the asx file and record with the other computer, and played it, it always makes this buzz sound and it is not properly recorded. What is the good settings for recording stream audios?

What do you mean "those computers are connected with the line" ? Are they on a network of sorts?

I'll assume that you are using Windows Explorer on the computer where you want to record and playing your file from the remote computer.

The buzz sound must be from the settings on your Volume control panel on the computer where you are trying to use dMC Auxliary Input to record.

Open that (from the volume icon in your task bar) and check the recording control settings. The input should be from Stereo mix (or wav maybe) or something like that, not CD or microphone. Only one input option should be used, all others should not. The names of the input options all depend on the particular sound card you are using and the control program associated with it.

Re: .asx to .mp3?

Hi

i read the entire thread here...

i have the exact same problem as the person with the "Big Pimpin" song.

after reading the whole thread, i understand how to do the recording and such...but my problem is i have about 50+ .asx songs i need to convert. so do i really have to sit at my computer and start recording every single song? i have a source i use for music and they are all .asx, meaning i plan to get more files from there. please there must be some easier way to convert these...

Re: .asx to .mp3?

Check http://www.xs4all.nl/~hendrik0/WTold/ and click on Mp3 Resources.

There's something on Strembox CR and a download. Perhaps this will help you.
