[MPlayer-users] Mplayer does play stream

[Niels]

Hi again,

I had some problems with playing a stream. I updated mplayer from 0.90 to 
0.90-r1, which is a Gentoo specific upgrade. It works now, the stream plays 
nicely. I don't know exactly what made this difference.

The next problem is saving to a file. I tried fiddling with -dumpstream, but 
it doesn't work. The output is below, what can I do?

mplayer 
mms://wm.nvidia.na-regional.speedera.net/wm.nvidia.na-regional/fairy.wmv 
-dumpstream

MPlayer 0.90-3.2.2 (C) 2000-2003 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS)
