How to play a stream in Media Player - as a file???

So i have a link that I can play in Media Player, by specifying "Open URL". How can I save the address as a file, so I can hopefully play it in Media Center as a video??? Here is the link:

IPCAM://Url=192.168.1.10/image/jpeg.cgi&Auth=Yes&Username=<user>&Password=<pass>

This works with "open URL" by installing a special webcam codec.

Edit:
The codec is http://www.umediaserver.net/umediaserver/download.html ... The x86 named IPCamSourceVideo.zip, there is also an x64 version...

Found an answer. Might not be the best way, but an ASX file with these contents works:

<ASX version = "3.0">
<TITLE>My TItle</TITLE>
<ENTRY>
<TITLE>My Title</TITLE>
<AUTHOR>My Author</AUTHOR>
<COPYRIGHT>My Copyright</COPYRIGHT>
<REF HREF = "IPCAM://Url=192.168.1.10/image/jpeg.cgi&Auth=Yes&Username=<user>&Password=<pass>" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>
