Hi there, I'm trying to capture some streaming video from CBC.ca (specifically this URL: http://www.cbc.ca/livemedia/cbcvideo-newsworld-live.asx) but all RMC captures is a 0 byte asf file. I'm using the demo version right now, but am considering purchasing the full version if I can get this to work.

Here is some additional information that RMC is spitting out: Status: 401] Finished downloading content
URL: mms://a813.l961724812.c9617.g.lm.akamaistream.net/Akamai_Live_24812

I'm trying to see if I'll be able to record live coverage of the Canadian Election on October 14th in order to show it to a reception of Canadian expats in London. I've heard from CBC (through my organization) that the standard live feed should be able to handle our requirements, but I was hoping to test the theory with the Leadership debates tonight.

Any assistance or pointers on how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
