I've used SnapzProX to record streaming video which was not supposed to

program stores the captured frames uncompressed for speed) and takes a
while to process the stored data into MP4 format at the end, but apart
from that it worked a treat. Is that naughty?


In the case of the BBC the material is available to download by Windoze
users and also can be recorded direct from air when transmitted. So why
should they be allowed to treat anyone who doesn't use Windoze as a
second class citizen? Size matters though, how big are we talking here?

Final movie was 280 Mb as an MP4, but SnapzPro used 12Gb to store it
while downloading.

You can also use it to transcode awkward video formats (e.g. those
which you can play but not edit) into something more tractable.

I've not had too much of a problem with that, there's usually a solution
somewhere.

Some movies only play in VLC. While VLC promises to do transcoding, in
practice it never seems to work.
