Using SDP to Grab mms:// Protocol Videos
It seems I’ve developed a fairly stable method of capturing music videos to a local file over the mms protocol. First, expand your free software mind with SDP. Once that monster is installed, navigate over to HotGet.com and find your favorite, coveted video.
Right-click, view the source. Run a find for “embed”, then clipboard-ify the src= attribute contents. Make a magic file on your desktop called “foo.html” (I use “go.html” historically). Include within it a single link:
<html> <body> <a href="[paste here]">Go [now you see why]</a> </body> </html>
Then, open up that file in a browser and right-click Save As… the link to the desktop. You should get a dovid.php from that download. Open that up in Notepad, and copy the link out of the REF HREF area. Paste that URL back into go.html file, open it up, and download the file. You should get a medialog.asp file off the download.
This file is the “bingo” of the project. The medialog.asp contains a URL that SDP can process. Put it into SDP and let it parse the asx. You will get a valid video download.
