NAME
       mmsclient - download Microsoft Media streams

SYNOPSIS
       mmsclient url1

DESCRIPTION
       mmsclient is a simple utility that allows you to download Internet
       streams using Microsoft's MMS protocol, e.g. CNN video and similar.
       Downloaded stream can be watched/listened with any software that
       understands Microsoft Media format, like xine with mms-plugin.

OPTIONS
       Only one argument is required, the URL to the stream you want to
       download.  Don't let to confuse yourself by verbose output, once it's
       finished, you'll find the stream .asf file in the current directory.

CREDITS
       This software would never have been possible without the help from
       http://get.to/sdp.

EXAMPLES
       mmsclient mms://netshow.msn.com/msnbc8

       This will attempt to download Microsoft Media stream and save it as
       `msnbc8' file in the current directory.

BUGS
       Lacks some useful command line options, not to mention probable bugs.
