I am trying to download the stream accessible at the following URL:
http://www.broadinstitute.org/outreach/midsummer/videos/2010BruceBirren.html
using rtmpdump (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/rtmpdump-freeware-console-RTMP-downloading-application.htm) 2.3 with the command:
rtmpdump -n vstream.broadinstitute.org -a simplevideostreaming -y midsummernightsscience/skathiresan/midsummernightscience_07282010.mov -s http://www.broadinstitute.org/mediaplayers/jw/player.swf -o output.mov -V
but the only result is that I keep getting repeated at constant intervals of time:
DEBUG: HandleCtrl, received ctrl. type: 6, len: 6
DEBUG: HandleCtrl, Ping ######
DEBUG: sending ctrl. type: 0x0007
and nothing is downloaded. Am I doing something wrong?

rtmpdump -r rtmp://vstream.broadinstitute.org/simplevideostreaming -a simplevideostreaming -y mp4:midsummernightsscience/bbirren/midsummernightscience_07072010.mov -V -o output.flv


The above parameters work.

Thanks, the only thing I was missing was the "mp4:" tag. However, this was not clear at all from the documentation of rtmpdump (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/rtmpdump-freeware-console-RTMP-downloading-application.htm). It is actually quite misleading. I don't even understand what that tag stands for.

You can use rtmpsuck or rtmpsrv to get parameters needed for rtmpdump (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/rtmpdump-freeware-console-RTMP-downloading-application.htm). They work much much better in Linux like free Ubuntu.
