The above mentioned page from plus7.arte.tv has several options. Besides RTMP flash videos, Windows Media streams are available. Just view the source of the web-page:

Try to copy the http:// .wmv URL and paste it into the address bar of Safari

http://artestras.wmod.rd.llnw.net/geo/arte7/SAT/arteprod/A7_SGT_ENC_07_040851-000-A_PG_HQ_FR.wmv

If you can't download it with Safari, then try to dump it with VLC or MPlayer.

And you can use rtmpdump for rtmp streams. Try to read more about it on our web-site.

Another option of recording streams in Mac OS is by using stream recorders for Windows. Some of the programs will work even without Bootcamp or Parallels Desktop for Max OS X. But you will need an emulator like Wine, WineBottler or Crossover.

You shouldn't have any problems using Replay Media Catcher with free Wine.

thanks for your answers.

I'ill check that and will come back for a feedback !

thanks again

Hello,
as you said, downloading the .WMV videos from

www.plus7.arte.tv

is easy (see my tutorial in French using VLC)
But what Carmy pointed out is much more interesting : We don't know of any application that would allow to dump the videos streamed via RTMP like the .FLV ones appearing in the source code of the ARTE.TV page.

Knowing this would allow us to dump the videos on the other sites mentionned below.

Reading this forum was not enough to understand how to properly use RTMPDUMP on the Mac (especially because of the SWF verification, although the 2.1c version seems to automate the process, and include a RTMPSUCK command unfortunately not well documented)

SO : Here are some examples of webpages that still resist to our skills on the mac (That's frustrating as Orbit Downloader works so easily on Windows)

If we manage with these ones, I'm sure we'll manage as well these :
cite-musique.fr: How to download video on Mac OS X
cultureplayer.fabflows.com: How to download video on Mac OS X
grandcrew.com: How to download video on Mac OS X
www.medici.tv: How to download video on Mac OS X

Dear StremRecorder-guru, as a long-time reader of this forum, I'd appreciate any hint to learn more from these particular examples and the correct usage of rtmpdump and flvstreamer if needed.
Many thanks,
S

hello, thanks for your information : with VLC I can save the WMV file

But, another problem, how can I save the video, when there is no WMV file ?

Like, this video for example :

http://liveweb.arte.tv/fr/video/Moscou__quartier_des_Cerises_de_Chostakovitch_a_l_opera_de_Lyon/

I have tried with rtmpdump, but no video on my hard drive ...

So if you have any solution, can you please explain it to me ?

thanks again a lot

Hi!
I have problems with the same site:
I was trying to download (to generally see how arte is working) this
video:

http://www.arte.tv/de/Kultur-entdecken/one-shot-not/3045258.html

Unfortunately I wasn't able to.

I tried :
"e:\r\rtmpdump.exe" -r rtmp://arte.fcod.llnwd.net/a2306/o25/MP4:liveweb/stream/690_OSN_S03E03_ineditlive_phoenixDEEZER_sd.mp4 -W "http://artestras.vo.llnwd.net/o35/geo/arte7/player/ALL/artep7_hd_16_9_v2.swf" -o "e:\arte.mp4"

i also tried:

"e:\r\rtmpdump.exe" -r --host "artestras.fcod.llnwd.net" "rtmp://arte.fcod.llnwd.net/a2306/o25/MP4:liveweb/stream/690_OSN_S03E03_ineditlive_phoenixDEEZER_sd.mp4" -W --tcUrl "rtmp://arte.fcod.llnwd.net:1935/a2306/o25" --swfUrl "http://artestras.vo.llnwd.net/o35/geo/arte7/player/ALL/artep7_hd_16_9_v2.swf?e=1264341716&h=7c545de1ed789 7a2727210686d5065f0" --app "a3903/o35/" --pageUrl "http://plus7.arte.tv/de/1697660,CmC=3066108.html" ""e:\video.mp4" -o

this latter command is kind of a mixture of an alleged successful download of another arte video, and the desired video's info.

I'm really lost on this one.
Unfortunately I havent been able to find out which data is generally needed, and how to find this data.
Seems to be pretty hard at times.
I read of people using media catcher or rmptsuck to find out certain values (in concern of swfurls, hashs etc.).
But i have no idea how all that works.

Can someone help ?


regards
hobo

rtmpsuck will retrieve all of the video, it doesn't just print the parameters.

@hyc

Ok, back to topic, can someone help ?
