Sometimes you see some streaming video and want to save hard disk to view it with ease. I, for example, am a fan of history, yellow, mysteries, and therefore are also a big fan of Carlo Lucarelli. So I made up his mind to save the episodes present on the Blu Notte Rai Click. Among the various programs that I installed on my Debian, certainly the most efficient, to me, and MPlayer. So to record streaming just

pass the option-dumpstream. So if we want to record and watch streaming an episode of Blue Night, simply issue the following command (all on one line):

mplayer-dumpstream mms: / / media.fastweb.it/WM9/raiclick/FMVRAI04000001013664.wmv-dumpfile blu_notte.avi

and find the video in the current directory, give them a few seconds, and then if we want we can also look at it as MPlayer is saving on hard disk, without being deceived by the words:

Stream not seekable!

Straight from the man, that's the meaning of these options:

-dumpfile <filename> (MPlayer only) Specify which file MPlayer should write flows (dump). Should be used with-dumpaudio /-dumpvideo /-dumpstream.-Dumpstream (MPlayer only) Dumps the flow track (audio / video) raw compressed. / Stream.dump. Useful when encoding / copying ( 'Rippa') from DVD or network. If you switch on the command line more than one-dumpaudio, dumpvideo-,-dumpstream only the last one will work.
