Hi, I'm a noob and obviously a bit confused by some of the more technical stuff, but I have successfully used Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) to record several streaming vids, but for some reason I'm having trouble with one.

I open RMC, and start recording, and then start playing the video, but RMC never sees it and nothing gets recorded. What's the problem here? The video in question is a poker video located here:
http://www.flopturnriver.com/poker-videos/NL-Holdem-Poker-Video-NHC020.php

Anyone know what's going wrong and how to fix it?

For whatever reason I can't record it with Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) as well. I've notified the developer already. Hopefully this can be solved easily.

So far you can download this flash video by the following method:

Open the web page and view its source (right-click on the page and click "View source")
Search for ".flv"
Copy the http:// .flv URL to the clipboard
Download the flash video with any download managers (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/download-managers-with-streaming-media-downloading-support.htm) like freeware FreeDownloadManager.

Oh, cool, thanx for the tip SR! I wouldn't have thought of doing it that way, but then I don't really know much about streaming video. That worked great though, thanx!

That's weird that RMC can't download it, I would see some -bind.flv files popping up briefly in RMC, but they would just pop up and then dissapear, and nothing would DL. I got the WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WMRecorder-One-click-online-audio-video-stream-recorder.htm) demo, which I think started to record it, but the demo only captures I think 5min so that didn't help. I'd be interested to hear the developers response and find out why RMC couldn't capture that vid. Thank you for your assistance SR, I appreciate it.

The developer of Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) explained the problem:

It is just an FLV over HTTP protocol. The reason why it's not working is because the "content-type" of the FLV is "text/html"... which kinda sucks...

but, can be caught with Media Catcher if you add "text/html" to the list of allowed content-types.

but, i wouldn't enable it forever since everything is text/html. it will bog down Media Catcher if left on all the time.

Hrmm, well I don't really understand what that means(text/html strreaming vid?), but then I don't understand much about streaming video. But hey, thanks for looking into it!

Every local file you receive from the Internet have a content type. It is used to help internet application to open files with an appropriate method (HTML pages, ASX metafiles, SWF flash objects,... are opened differently).

The flash .flv video on this web-site uses "text/html" content/type, the same one that is used for HTML web-pages. Replay Media Catcher filters HTML video and audio streams by content/type. The content itself is not analyzed yet. It might be in the future, especially if such way of broadcasting flash videos become more widespread.
