I found this incantation at grimthing.com (which currently appears to be down): mplayer -ao pcm -aofile capfilename.wav -vo null -vc dummy rtsp://realname.rm If you're using a playlist file (e.g. a .ram file) invoke with "-playlist URL" or "-playlist path/file" instead of just a bare URL or filename at the end of that line. I've used this to capture both RealAudio streams (Fresh Air) and the audio portion of RealVideo streams (BookTV.org). -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabootu's Minister of Proofreading http://www.jabootu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
