Hi all!
I've spent my last nights trying to download .flv files from this web page:
http://www.salute21.it/ita/v_volontariato_sanita.php
The problem is that with Replay AV or WM Recorder 11.0 I can only download the .swf files. (which are the player interface)
In fact the URL is like http://www.salute21.it/ita/FVS_Salute21.swf?curMovie=11_maccagno180K
Even URL Snooper doesn't help!
I think I get this problem because the video plays in a pop-up flash player...I've read in this forum that "Currently there are no stream recorders that can download RTMP protocol streams (from embedded macromedia flash player). "...and may be this is why i can't save the .flv file. :confused:
The only way to save those videos is to use screen video capture software??
Thanx in advance for help and sorry for my english!! :D

I've used CommView to analyze packets for
http://www.salute21.it/ita/FVS_Salute21.swf?curMovie=11_maccagno180K
and have found the following URL
rtmp://81.29.202.9:80/salute21_video/video_convegni/

The only program that can record rtmp streams is Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm).
You may use screen video capture software (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/screen-capture-software.htm) here, but of course RTMP stream ripper/recorder gives much better results.

p.s.
For those who don't know about RTMP/HTTP flash stream recording the following FAQs should be interesting:
