NAME

       mimms - mms (e.g. mms://) stream downloader

SYNOPSIS

       mimms [options] <url> [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       mimms is a program designed to allow you to download streams using the MMS protocol and save them to your
       computer, as opposed to watching them live. Similar functionality  is  available  in  full  media  player
       suites  such  as  Xine,  MPlayer,  and  VLC,  but mimms is quick and easy to use and, for the time being,
       remains a useful program.

URLS

       mimms supports only URLs that are supported by libmms, e.g. mms://, mmsh://, mmst://.  Previous  versions
       tried to do fancy things with http:// URLs and .asx files, but this version does not (yet?) support that.
