  While I second Ball's dismay with the format, I thank Chad Parish and the Institute for the content. Luckily mplayer can dump the stream so I can watch it at my leisure.

  How do I use mplayer (assuming this means windows media player) to dump this stream so I can listen offline? My apologies is this is inappropriate for this blog. Thanks Mr. parish for making this available.

  Lyle Riggs,
  I am unfortunately not very familiar with Windows media clients. I use mplayer on linux, but I hear that it is available in Windows too. You may want to investigate a media player called VLC which has a nice user interface and should allow you to capture the stream while running windows. If you choose to go the mplayer route, the capture routine could be as simple as running "mplayer -dumpstream http://mises.org:88/Gold83_Rothbard?MSWMExt=.asf"
  from the command line. When it is finished, you will then have a file called stream.dump that you can rename to something like Rothbard_Gold_1983.wmv Just keep in mind that windows is not very well designed for ease of command line usage (your mplayer program probably will not be included in the PATH environment variable and you will most easily run mplayer by navigating to its install directory first)

  Lyle Riggs: http://www.mplayerhq.hu - there's a Windows binary. Note: it's a command-line program not a GUI (there is a GUI, but you can't dump the stream from that). Use mplayer -dumpfile blah.asf -dumpstream http://...

  The stream works fine in Winamp and in VLC player if you have those programs enabled for video and the association (.asf) to open with one of these programs.

  Dear lovers of history and liberty and Murray Rothbard,

  If you are any or all of these you will find this video entertaining and educational.

  Thank you Chad Parish!

  Stanley, thanks for the tip.

  I ended up using VLC in Mac OS X to play the stream.dump file created by mplayer.
