Hi. I'm having a similar problem except there is no clear-cut information from looking at the source. The video is from the Senate Banking Cmte.'s hearing on the auto industry.

http://banking.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Hearings.LiveStream&Hearing_id=299be20f-5e40-4c5f-89ee-2ade064d4226

Is there any program or method that can be used to grab this video?

i got the url is

rtmp://fms.senate.gov/Committee/vCommFiles/banking120408&start=945


for capturing this video,try Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm)

I didn't have much luck playing that url in the suggested program or my recently updated VLC player. I tried variations like

rtmp://fms.senate.gov/Committee/vCommFiles/banking120408&start=945.flv
rtmp://fms.senate.gov/Committee/vCommFiles/banking120408&start=945
rtmp://fms.senate.gov/Committee/vCommFiles/banking120408
rtmp://fms.senate.gov/Committee/vCommFiles/banking120408.flv

and still didn't get any playback.

However, I did try out Rip Tiger (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Rip-Tiger-Capture-and-Convert-Web-Video-Streams.htm) and that seems to be doing the trick. I would feel better if I was able to see or figure out the url that is being used, but at least I got the video.

Thanks, noob2001204!

[Stream Recorder]

AFAIK VLC player (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/record-streaming-video-windows-media-and-real-video.htm#VLC) doesn't support RTMP streams.

You can try Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) or any other RTMP Flash stream recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/record-streaming-video-Adobe-Flash-FLV-videos.htm) to capture streaming videos from banking.senate.gov.

To play Flash .FLV videos you may use freeware players:How to play FLV videos
