Converting a WVX stream from HTTPS....

The software is choking. I'm using 0.6.1.4077. It looks like error 13.

Any ideas?

More info on settings and codecs needed to pass on any help what so ever.

Okay, good question. I really just need to "see" the video from my hard drive vs streaming. I guess I'd like a format that is generally readable in something like Windows Media Player. The original file is on Microsoft's site. (Only a few members of my team have access to the partner area and I'd like all of them to see this video - so I thought I'd download it and convert it.) Does this help?

WVX extension is just a redirector or pointer. If you want the link to the actual video, open wvx file under notepad and copy link. Then paste link in MediaCoder.

Yes, i did figure that out. When I paste that link in, I get an error "Failed to load MEncoder". It's error 13.

Really, the file is a WMV and just downloading it is probably good enough, but when I paste the link in a browser, it just fires up Windows Media player and the controls to "Save as..." are disabled"

if i can't convert it, then just a download is fine. Any ideas? Thanks!

try d/l it and then convert it?

I can't d/l it. The URL looks like this:
MMS://xxxxxxx.com/yyyyyyyyyy/zz.wmv and it will only fire up Windows Media Player. I need a way to just suck the stream and then save it.

Use Orbit Downloader to capture the MMS stream.
