off-topic - real player streaming video editing?

Unless they have some protection on the file, you should be able to save
the RAM locally and then play with it to your heart's content.  In Windoze,
all you would need to do is right-click on the link to the file and choose
"Save Target As..." and say where you want to put it on your local system.

Hope this helps!

Good Day Lugites,

I realize this is off topic, but I hope you'll forgive me.  There are
several extremely intelligent members of this LUG with diversified
knowledge, and I hope someone here can help me.

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to cut a piece of video out
of a RealPlayer streaming media file (.ram file.)  The UDE recently had
there Science Olympiad and they taped the event and stream it as a .ram
file.  A friend of mines daughter sang the National Anthem at this event
and we are trying to figure out how to cut about 6 minutes (the video of
her) out of this 1 hour and 34 minute file.

I found a utility that will allow me to convert a .ram to a .avi, but I
believe you have to have the file locally, and I can't even figure out
how to get the file from the Univ.of Deleware.

So, that's it in a nutshell. I want to cut a particular length of file
out of Real Player .ram file that is streamed from a remote server (I
think I splained it right *shrugs*).

If anyone can be of service, or point me in the right direction, I would
be eternally grateful.

Thank you again for your time,
Eric Rossiter
