A Way to save streaming windows media

Been playing with various media stuff the last few days, HTPC stuff. Decided to forego Myth and try windows solutions. In my playing I came across the PBS website for FrontLine, with a good deal of the better episodes available for download. Of course, you’re only able to stream them from their webpage, which doesn’t do much good for playing via a TV (WinMCE does not yet have a spotlight/plugin to play these directly).

So, I started searching for a way to save the streams for later viewing, and I came across this:
Streaming Download Project

It’s a program called (obviously) Streaming Download Project, or SDP. It allows you to give the address of a Windows Media stream (next version should support real/rtsp as well), and save it locally.

Good stuff!
