b) rtmpdump: Create a new folder and name it rtmpdump
IMPORTANT: MAKE NOTE OF THE NEW FOLDER'S LOCATION (whether C:/Users/Owner [or what have you])

Step 5 caveat: the final hyphen (following the "c:\program files\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe" segment) in the command line rtmpdump -v -r "rtmp://freespeech.fc.llnwd.net:1935/freespeech/livestream44925" --quiet | "c:\program files\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe" - is crucial.
Step 7 correction: should read, "To monitor a recording-in-progress, open an instance of VLC media player, then click Media > Open File (then browse to the aj2012-09-11.mp4 file in the infowars folder)."
