Capturing streaming

[doniel]

1) If I'm in the wrong forum, please point me to the right one.
2) I've read the documentation but it's unclear to me. Could use Streaming for Dummies!
I've had the entire series of Alfred Hitchcock Presents for ages but only recently began watching it. When I got to S5E20, it played normally for a second or 2 and then the sound got much louder and the dialogue was overwhelmed by very loud static-like noise. It continued until the end of the show.
Since I'm not aware of any way to fix it, I found a site online that plays that episode upon command. I'd like to replace my copy with that one. How exactly do I do that?

Hi Doniel,
1) I dont know if it's the right forum, but i found you here so i reply here.
2) VLC has a function with which you can register your entire screen. It could be used like an "old VHS recorder" from the not so old times when it was possible to record a movie on your TV. You will need help from others programs.
How it works :
- Open the media you want to record, from the site you want, let it pause.
- Open VLC, choose "Open (...i don't know what because mine is in french but the shortcut is Ctrl+C)
- Choose the last tab
- In the last tab, first line, drop down menu, choose "Desktop"
- In the square "Options" choose your framerate (typically 30 fps)
- DON'T cliks on "read" but on the arrow to drop down the menu on the button
- Choose : ....the thing where it's Alt+O
- In the parameters box, choose the output format and other option
- In the destination box, choose the output directory and give your file a cool name
- Click on "Start" (or something similar). Now your screen is recorded.
- Go to the media you want to record. Back to 00:00 time, full screen and play it.
- Turn off the sound and let it do it's stuff alone.
- You have to wait the entire time (so block any disturbance which could come on your screen)
- At the end click "stop" in VLC.
- Your media has been saved in the output directory you choosed before
- Read you new file --> There is NO SOUND !!! it's normal. A few more steps.
- Download Audacity
- Install audacity
- Find a way to make audacity register the sound coming from your pc
- Start recording the sound of your PC
- Play the original media again
- Once the media is ended, stop the recording and export it as MP3 (you will probably need another special file to add in Audacity directory, it will tell you what to do)
- Download and install a video editing programm (for example Kdenlive)
- Put the recorded video with vlc and the sound recorded with Audycity in the programm
- Sychronize them (now you have to hope very strong that there is no lag in your video or audio, otherwise they will not be synchronised from start to finish)
- Cut them at start and finish
- Export them as a new media.
- You're done ! (for 1 media)
- Start again for the others media.

Voila !
