Capture live streaming

I want to capture an RTMP stream. The videos are live, different every day and usually I can't tune in because I am busy at work doing something :(. I would like to capture the stream; however, they use anti-capturing techniques (it's live and free so I don't understand why). I tried Orbit Downloader without any luck. The URL seems kind of weird (judging by grab++). It has || in it and other URLs.

What applications can I use to capture this? I am open to using Linux.

Solution 1:

Orbit Downloader handle MMS, RTSP and RTMP protocols. With its Grab Pro module it let you inspect http to find the link to the streamed media. It's a freeware and a good Download Manager.

The firefox extension Video Download Helper could help too

Solution 2:

For windows

I would suggest Replay Media Catcher .its shareware

For linux

rtmpdump - freeware CLI application (Mac OS X, Linux, Windows). It allows you to dump RTMP streams onto your hard drive.

Solution 3:

Jaksta for windows which can catch live streams.
