VLC is just delicious

Have you seen Del.icio.us yet? It's an online community for sharing bookmarks basically. Now you know I always have to check what VLC brings up in tools like this. Well, the results are in.

Among the different interesting tidbits, I found this link to a website describing how to RIP Windows Media based Musicvideo's from Yahoo. The tutorial is pretty extensive, and applies to most other MMS streams as well. There is even a nice Flash video showing you the exact proces.

Multicast from Windows Media Server

Our good friend Jon Lech Johansen has reverse engineered the encoding used by NSC announcement files which contain the information to join Multicast Windows Media Streaming sessions. So i'm working on getting this into VLC right now and hopefully "Very Soon Now", VLC will support WMS multicast. Let's REJOICE.

Update:I now have a nsc file decoder for VLC. Next step is to get this information passed to a new connection so we can have decode the ASF in the UDP stream we receive.
