I’m using Belgacom ADSL as internet provider, and during the summer, they are offering live streaming of many festivals going around in Belgium: Graspop Metal Meeting, Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop, …

I do not ittend to spend my time in front on my screen to watch all those nice concerts, so I’m using Mplayer to record those data streams:

mplayer -dumpstream mms://url/of/stream.wmv

Of course, the recording lasts for the time of the concert, but then I’m able to watch the concert when I want, and to go forward and backward into the stream… Nice! 🙂
