If you have trouble downloading a PNM Protocol stream with StreamBox VCR v1.0 beta 3.1 the server is probably any version of RealServer 9 or RealServer 8.0.2.471. StreamBox VCR may display in it's Log this error message it receives from these servers.

You need to obtain a new player to play this clip. Please point your web browser to http://www.real.com and download the latest RealPlayer from RealNetworks. Once you have installed it you should try this clip again.

StreamBox VCR cannot download PNM Protocol from these servers.
Try changing the URL Protocol to RTSP because there is often a matching RTSP Protocol stream.
Example:
pnm://www.site.com/filename.rm
Change to RTSP Protocol using default port.
rtsp://www.site.com/filename.rm
Change to RTSP Protocol using PNM-PNA port.
rtsp://www.site.com:7070/filename.rm

If changing the URL to RTSP with default or PNM-PNA ports both fail because there is no matching RTSP Protocol stream, then your only current options are.

1. R7C Real7ime Converter can download PNM Protocol audio or video streams from these servers.

The downloaded stream can be converted to AVI video or AVI, MP3 or WAV audio.
Because of memory problems (Runtime and Virtual Memory Errors) R7C will have a limited recording time so it will have problems with long streams. In many cases for on-demand streams, the server will support start and end times so the stream can be recorded in parts so that it will not exceed R7C memory limits.
Example:
pnm://www.site.com/filename.rm?start=00:00.00&end=14:59.99
pnm://www.site.com/filename.rm?start=15:00.00&end=29:59.99
pnm://www.site.com/filename.rm?start=30:00.00&end=44:59.99

2. Screen video capture for video or Direct audio recording for audio are also methods that can be used if you don't want to deal with R7C and it's memory problems and spliting files.
