I'm trying to capture this video from the vh1 website: _http://vh1.com/video/celebrity-rehab-5/full-episodes/intake/1666117/playlist.jhtml

I'm getting errors with rtmpdump, that I can't figure out:

Any ideas? :(
I'm using the latest version of rtmpdump from svn. I also tried with rtmpsrv, which gave me extra parameters for rtmpdump, but the same error occured.

[KSV]

This site is using type 9 handshake which is not currently supported by rtmpdump (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/rtmpdump-freeware-console-RTMP-downloading-application.htm).

Use TubeDigger (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/TubeDigger-streaming-audio-video-downloader-recorder-Adobe-Flash-Player-streaming-HTTP-RTMP-RTMPE.htm), GetFLV (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/GetFLV-Download-and-convert-flash-video-streaming.htm). Or just record videos from screen (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-from-screen/).

I tried using GetFLV (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/GetFLV-Download-and-convert-flash-video-streaming.htm), it would only download the lower resolution stream, rather than the full-quality 1600 kbps 640x480 video that is offered.

It auto adapts and selects a different quality video stream based on available bandwidth, i.e.:

vh_celebrehab_501_rt242435_open_640x480_1600_m30.m p4
vh_celebrehab_501_rt242435_act3_576x432_1200_m30.f lv

Yes,1 video quality only.

Are you just completely disregarding my previous post? They offer a max of 640x480 @ 1600 kbps.

How were you able to obtain the stream, though?

EDIT: nevermind. that's what I was able to get with GetFLV (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/GetFLV-Download-and-convert-flash-video-streaming.htm) as well. (one segment of the video, lower quality)

wtf? :confused:

Did i say "deliberate nonsense"? Prove it! :D
The above is a go with GFLV. The video is streamed in chunks, huh?
Maybe you can get the full episodes from elsewhere (Hulu, AIV (http://stream-recorder.com/forum/recording-amazon-instant-video-demand-aiv-vod-t8884.html), TV.com, ..)?

i hate chunked vids :p
