Hey,

I'm trying to save a version of a streaming video to watch offline but running into some problems.

Let's say I wanted to save something from NHL video just as an example:

http://video.oilers.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=189952

Using TubeMaster++ I can save the stream while it's loading but if it's a two hour video, this requires leaving it running for two hours and in that time it's going to run into an error because the servers suck and it will freeze, corrupting the save.

Is there a way for me to buffer the entire video and save the entire file using the full capabilities of my internet connection/their upload server so it takes a few minutes instead of two hours of constant running time?

My best guess was to copy the network stream from TubeMaster++ into VLC, open it as a network stream, increase the caching to a high number and use TubeMaster to capture but I don't think this is working out or maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

Any suggestions?
