I was wondering if theres any possible way to do this. I've searched on google and stuff but nothing really comes up. I tried orbit's grab++ but that doesnt work either, although it does work on ustream.
Why do i need this? My problem is that I cant watch it in a browser because it takes ages to buffer, thanks to my slow internet, so id like to set some VODs from minigun and other awesome players streams to download before i go sleep, so I can watch them the next day. I wasnt sure if it was ok to post this in the tech support forum so I made it a blog.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

You can also just set your procaster to save the VOD onto your computer too

yeah livestream encodes their videos so you cant take the native flv file out , there is a way to do it but its an absolute pain in the ass, theres some software that allows you to record the stream while its playing from the site, but that wouldnt help too much in your situation if it takes ages to buffer. It basically is like capturing the screen but 1/1 instead of a rip, it finds the source flv and captures it while its going along, meaning to capture the entire video you have to...watch the entire video :o or at least leave it running. I remember i spent a good afternoon trying to get the native url for the flv, which i managed to do, but every programme i used to download it came up with an "Unable to find server" command.

You could try this:

I haven't done it, but if the poster above is right about the flv thing, it might work.

Edit: I'm actually gonna try it now. :D
Edit2: Didn't work for livestream(download never popped up), worked for megavideo as shown in the video though.
