Anyone know how to record the video-streamed movie associated with thesecret.tv?

I have tried several app's with no luck. When the movie starts, it fills the screen and I cannot get to the controls of any app.

To get controls of any app just press the Windows button or Alt+Tab. They use a custom player (whether it is an ActiveX or Java version). I don't think you can capture it with media stream recorders (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/all-streaming-video-recording-software.htm). Just use screen video capture program (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/screen-capture-software.htm). And here is a couple of replies that prove my opinion:

This looks like a custom player -- it seems to be powered by something
called "Vividas", which I've never heard of before. Not sure if we can snag
this one.

its a java player
http://video.thesecret.tv/ppv/TheSecretTrailer_high.viv
for the trailer

you find the player files by looking in this .js ,

http://video.thesecret.tv/thesecret/movie/player/vivid_ocx.jpeg

are the java player files...

then you have to assemble an html (and javascript) file to use those
files and your .viv file to playback.

it seems like a confusing .js file, so i am not sure how to make it
work off the harddrive.

if i find anything else about it i will let you know. otherwise it
looks like screen capture :(

Hi

I'm trying to capture this Vividas video http://video.vividas.com/CDN1/5167_PS3/web/thewholething_HD.html , i have tried both camstudio and snagit, the result has been the same (capture works up until video launches then you get black screen) except snagit caught the audio, have i missed a setting or is there some other piece of software that can catch this, its embedded in a webpage that launches i'm guess its because it on an over lay but i dunno, i'm new to this. Any help would be great, T.I.A

You should disable overlay or use screen video capture software (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/screen-capture-software.htm) that can record from overlay.
