Can anyone download this flash video stream?
http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=125098&title=evolution-schmevolution-overview

I was able to view the video with an unprotected XP SP3 system and IE7 running in a VM. Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) was not able to save the file. It reported:
Internal error while trying to download RTMP stream
Exception:
m_nErrType = 15
m_strDesc = "SWF Verification detected -- Sorry, these RTMP connections are not allowed to be analyzed."
m_strFile = F:\proj32\TestRTMPClient\RTMPStreamRip.cpp
m_nLineNumber = 912

I wasn't able to download this video with Grab Pro as well.

Many streaming video sites are now requiring secure players that will not allow downloads. I suspect the only thing you can do is use screen video capture software (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-from-screen/).

[Stream Recorder]

Jaksta (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Jaksta-Streaming-Media%20Recorder-and-Converter.htm) can capture RTMP streams protected by SWF verification.

You may also try freeware command line utility rtmpdump 1.6

Maybe you can try Flash Stream Hunter (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Flash-Stream-Hunter-Web-stream-capture-software.htm). I use it and can download this video stream.

Hi,

GetFLV (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/GetFLV-Download-and-convert-flash-video-streaming.htm) now figures out the link for the Daily Show episodes, but the download keeps stopping every couple seconds. When you hit start, it downloads a little bit more, and then stops again

Just to be clear, I get the red X, when it stops, and I'm using GetFLV (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/GetFLV-Download-and-convert-flash-video-streaming.htm) 8.8.61
