Web Stream Recorder 2010 3.0 Build 2070

A short while ago we took a look at Sytexis Software-developed application called Direct Stream Recorder, a Windows utility that allows you to record what you see on the monitor and what you hear coming out of the speakers. By using Direct Stream Record you can record any kind of video and audio stream to your disk, including video chats in instant messengers, Skype conversations and protected streams.

Now we switch focus to another Sytexis Software-developed application, an application called Web Stream Recorder 2010. Just like Direct Stream Recorder, Web Stream Recorder can be used for audio and video recording purposes. The difference is that Web Stream Recorder, as its name so adequately points out, records streaming media.

What does that mean? It means you can use Web Stream Recorder to record online radio, online TV, YouTube videos, Google videos, Winamp streams, Windows Media audio and video streams, Real Media audio and video streams, and rip Shoutcast streams. To put it bluntly, it is streamed over the web, Web Stream Recorder can save it to your computer so you can watch it whenever it is convenient for you.

Before you go get Web Stream Recorder and put it to the test, take a look at the technical details presented below:
Download – the download weighs in at 4.5MB, so it should not take long for it to complete.
Supported OS – at the time of writing this and according to the developer, Direct Stream Recorder provides support for the following Windows versions: Windows 2000, 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit editions).
Limitations – you can use Direct Stream Recorder free of charge for a rather short trial period of 7 days. Once the trial period is over, you will have to get a license to keep using Direct Stream Recorder.
