ASFDump

Available under the Mozilla Public License, ASFDump is a command-line utility designed to download ASF streams from specified websites and save them to the local disk. It's mostly based on ASFRecorder, a media streaming client.

The software program gives you the possibility to repair the headers and null packets of poorly formed streams, and it offers support for mms:// and http:// website protocols.

The package downloaded from Softpedia also includes the source code. The usage is asfdump.exe [-a ] [-p ] [-m ] [-e] [-b] [-r] [-d]

Apart from indicating the website's URL, you can enter the username and password if they are necessary for login (-a), specify the port number and proxy to connect to (-p and -P), and allow the application to generate a raw streaming files on the disk (-r).

In addition to this, it's possible to dump the HTTP headers for your closer inspection (-d), enable batch mode for a non-blocking GUI operation (-b), define the maximum recording time in minutes (-m), as well as instruct the tool to download only the first stream available from a list of references pointed out by you (-e).

It's currently in beta development.
