Hi,

i want to capture video that is streamed via the internet (its Australian football) but it gets a little trickier as it is footage that can only be viewed using a windows computer. I want to capture it on my wifes PC Laptop and then somehow convert the file to some sort of mac friendly format.

You may wonder why i want to go to such lengths. Well its because i have subscribed to this Australian internet company (telstra bigpond) that give Australians who live outside of Australia access to Aussie football games. For some reason it doesn't work on Mac computers. My wifes laptop is ok but the footage is always 'rebuffering stream' and its really annoying. I figured i could somehow capture it and then watch it later (on my imac) without pauses etc.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

A.
