how can i download only for example 15 min. of this film to my hard

in the other hand how can i determine start time and then end time then download this portion
of favorite film without whool film downloading

Not a software request. TOPIC MOVED

No. You need to download whole 42min. movie or stream it in WMP.
Then if you want portions of it you have to edit it later.

I've been able to download playable partial avi files with firefox, but they were sometimes too corrupt to play, so I wouldn't reccomend it.

thank you for your attention dear Admin.
but this way is the hardest and last Way
and this way is not a technical

i forgot to say i am a software engineering and

i think that it must be do but

i can not find that way and tools

i think that in computer scients we must do every works but donot know the way.

please show me the way

I may be wrong and anyone can feel free to correct me.

But you have to get the whole move simply because of how the movie was made. It's like when you burn a cd. If you don't let it finish the cd is no good.

Plus I think certin messures have been put in place so that that wouldn't happen. Temp files are made when you start to download anything and it has to finish to rebuild the file on your computer.

If you are wondering how some people are able to play some movie files when they are still downloading, I can't answer that one. Maybe it picks up on the stream and gets some informaion from where the movie is being copied from.

thank you my dear

i have a teory but can not apply it

if media player with an ASX file can play starttime up endtime my film

why we can't save that by media player [ files / Save AS ] option because it is disable!!??

with This my.asx file for examlpe :

<Asx Version = "3.0" >
<Param Name = "AllowShuffle" Value = "yes" />
<Entry>
<Duration value = "00:04:25.000" />
<StartTime value = "00:38:00.000" />
<Param Name = "SourceURL" Value = "mms://media.iransima.ir/tv3/tv3_20050511_012.wmv" />
<Title >Ardeshir tv3_20050511_012</Title>
<Ref href = "mms://media.iransima.ir/tv3/tv3_20050511_012.wmv"/>
</Entry>
</Asx>

please make this file and run with media player

i hope that this research must be solve by our effort

That is information that it got from the file.

The file told the player how long it was. All files do that it doesn't matter if they are on your computer or the net.

I don't that that MS has a save button. It has a rip button, and that is as close as I've seen it to having a save button, and if it did, it would get the whole file.

Are someone make and run above .asx file in media player

and see menu file saveAs optoin and say why this is disable

and how can i enable it for save as this part of movie

An ASX file is just a pointer to another media file, it’s just a playlist. For the most part ASX files will point to WMA, WMV, or ASF content. If you right click on the link to your ASX file and select Save Target As then you can open the file in Notepad and you will be viewing the basic playlist.

Like I said before you can't copy streams or download with WMP. Many servers are set up to disallow downloads, or when the source file uses mms:// protocol.

If you are so adamant about getting a copy of this low quality Islamic video try this software:

AVIPreview will let you view most, but not all partial AVI files
