So, I can successfully use URL Snooper (http://all-streaming-media.com/find-stream-URL/Project-URL-Snooper-Find-the-actual-stream-URL-Free-download.htm) and Wireshark (http://all-streaming-media.com/find-stream-URL/Wireshark-free-network-protocol-analyzer.htm) and a host of other utilities to construct what I believe to be the actual address of a given FLV/M4A file.

Let's say I have both a stream address, i.e. rtmp://1.2.3.4/stream.swf?vid=12345&scene=1&userid=a1b2c3d4&key=zxyabc098123&{other args here}

And then, through detective work (WireShark packet sniffing), I've determined that the actual FLV (or M4A) file is located at: rtmp://1.2.3.4/movies/vids/12345_1.flv

...now what do I do with it? Are there any programs which just let you paste in an rtmp address and download the file? rtmpdump (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/rtmpdump-freeware-console-RTMP-downloading-application.htm) does, but I'd like something with a GUI. StreamTransport (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/StreamTransport-Download-HTTP-RTMP-RTMPE-streams.htm) doesn't let you throw in that kind of protocol, and NetTransport (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/NetXFer-Saving-Windows-Media-Real-Audio-Video-QT-streaming-to-hd.htm) is a POS.

What should I be doing? And if I use rtmpdump, I assume I need to combine my userid and key with the actual video URL, but I've tried that... so is there something else I'm still missing?

Any insight would be welcome. Thank you in advance.

How do you use rtmp dump (rtmpdump tutorials)?
