Record video streaming from a server while viewed via Windows Media Player

I'm watching video from one server via Windows Media Player, is it possible to record this video while I'm watching it?

I tried with download master but it doesn't work.

Solution 1:

It entirely depends on the presence of DRM, encoding, and if you possess the legal right to do so.
If you want an answer which will work for pretty much any file, you could use something like wireshark or tcpdump and reconstruct the stream, maybe form a file out of it.

There are some programs such as RealPlayer which allow you to record streams, but that's the only one I really know of. Maybe VLC (FIle->Save As).
