Hello everyone,

I have been using Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) for quite some time now. But, a little while ago, some sites restricted to U.S only residents. So to bypass this, I am using Hotspot Shield (http://all-streaming-media.com/links/hotspotshield.htm) that acts a bit like the Tor extention on Firefox. It hides your ip adress and all related information and provides you with an american ip. This being said, I would like to save some .flv files from these sites. However, Replay media catcher sees the file but can`t seem to download it to my computer. Would some of you have any solution for this? Any help would be greatly apprecited.

Thank you

hmmm that's interesting, i'm glad you were able to find a work around. I'm based in the US, so let me test the stream(s) to make sure they're recordable in the first place. :-)

Can you please provide me with the URL of the video you're trying to record, so I can trouble shoot the issue?

Hello,

I`ve tried that, and it does not seem to work. Also, the connection is quite slow and Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-download-and-capture-streaming-music-radio-video.htm) doesn`t see the .flv file.
