NAME
       mmsrip - MMS Ripper

SYNOPSIS
       mmsrip [-q] [-t] [-k] [-dDELAY] [-gFILE] <[-oFILE] stream url> ...

DESCRIPTION
       mmsrip is a client for the proprietary protocol MMS://.

       It saves to a file the content being streamed.

OPTIONS
       -a, --about
              Show some information about mmsrip.

       -dDELAY, --delay=DELAY
              Save the stream during DELAY seconds and exit.

       -gFILE, --debugFILE
              Output debug info to specified file.

       -h, --help
              Show the help message.

       -k, --trick
              Attempt to trick recalcitrant servers by sending alternative
              local info (mmsrip will act as an old version of MediaPlayer).

       -oFILE, --output=FILE
              Output stream to specified file.  This option should be repeated
              before every stream urls.

       -q, --quiet
              Enable quiet mode.  Use twice in order to remove error messages
              as well.

       -t, --test
              Enable test mode. mmsrip will only check the stream
              availability.

       -v, --version
              Show version number.

ERROR CODES
       0      No error occured.

       1      mmsrip was unable to rip the stream (maybe the URL is
              incorrect).

       2      The stream was not ripped for unknown reasons. Please retry
              several times before giving up, you can write a script that
              loops until the rip succeeds:
              until mmsrip mms://server.com/stream.asf; do sleep 1; done
