The video is on this page http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/training-day/201207/exercises-make-trainers-cringe. I'm downloading the one called Deadlift - under Exercise 3.

With wireshark I get this:

Whereas with Net Transport I get:

Please notice that the name ending in Deadlife-2.mp4 also comes up in Net Transport.

However neither Wireshark nor NT yield the full path.

This is what's got me all confused and that's why I'm on this forum.

Also, RTMP, I think, is the protocol. So I know I'm gonna have to use rtmpdump, right?

So, in short, how do I download this video before it gets taken down? :)

Thank you in advance.

Thanks! I can't get it to work but thank you anyway for responding so fast to my question.

My Windows 7 command prompt doesn't like the digits ('1344664800000') it says:
Connecting ...
INFO: Connected...
ERROR: rtmp server sent error
ERROR: rtmp server requested close

You think maybe the single quotes are the problem?

So how do you come up with such a long, monstrous command with so many command options and values? Does a piece of software you have generate it for you?

Thanks again.

You think maybe the single quotes are the problem?

I ran the command through Bash. If you are using cmd.exe then yes you will need to use double quotes to comply with rules of that interpreter.

So how do you come up with such a long, monstrous command with so many command options and values? Does a piece of software you have generate it for you?

I use a script rtmp-host.sh; however if you know the host (in this case brightcove-06.fcod.llnwd.net) you can simply add line to hosts file

127.0.0.1 brightcove-06.fcod.llnwd.net

then run rtmpsrv.exe and restart the video. Once video starts it will dump the command. You will then need to restore hosts file, and run RtmpDump command. Caution; the dumped command in this case will not work as is because the quotes mentioned above are missing. I had to add them. Final note: depending on the server some of the arguments are optional; in extreme cases you can leave off -a, -f, -W, -p, -C, -y and the command will still work.

[silverx]

So in a Windows environment what do you use in place of a hosts file?

Do you know of any good websites with tutorials where you are taught how to download streaming videos in several different scenarios not just thepostgame.com site? 'Cause I've heard that you have to do things differently depending on the site, right?
