How to Capture stream of NBCOlympics.com

[ktoles]

Hello All,

Is there anyway someone could use ffmpeg and capture/record the following for me?

http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/swi...ater-swim.html

Then use something like dropbox or something to upload the file for me to download? I'm a noob and I can't capture this stream because I'm not in the states.

If someone could do that for me I'd gladly compensate for time and the size of the file.

I'd hugely appreciate it! Thank You!

cheers

sorry for the lame question.

i have a technical one this time.
knowing that some youtube Oylmpics videos are in mp2t, i managed to get a m3u8 link early in the video, before it disappeared,
hence i always get , even if the YouTube site is still playing

HTTP error 403 Forbidden
[crypto @ 021cb600] Unable to open input

error, anyone has any idea?
i am not sure if the Manifest URL will work on AdobeHDS solutions, i have not tried it btw.

Doesn't work for me. I followed the exact directions, but in the Web Console nothing shows up with extension m3u8.

Have you actually seen it work? I've tried that as well and it doesn't download the entire video. Just segments of it.

I have the same problem. I use "Flash and Video Download 1.14" and i catch little .flv segments

Okay, this works real well actually. Only one download cut off early so far. I have downloaded about six videos so far. Thanks to everyone. And here's a new site to see if anyone can find the m3u8 file, or the true video file stream that would be needed.

It's on the new Pac-12 video site (Pac-12 network).
Yes, you need a password to login to watch live and on demand events, but they have free videos up that uses the same video player and technology.

When using web console in Firefox I can't find the .m3u8 or appropriate video file from the Pac-12 website. It works for the NBC Olympics content. I think the Pac-12 uses a different video than .m3u8.

Can someone (anyone and everyone) view the video from this link (in Firefox), and find the appropriate video stream link so we can use that in FFmpeg (command prompt) and download the video(s) from that site?
Thanks.

anyone experience this "Input/Output Error" ??

Hi. Are you outside the USA? I had the same problem. I connected with a http proxy without a american dns. Login to a DNS server and select "Autodetect proxy configuration..."

my English is bad. I hope you understand

I am having the same issue. Maybe our question is under the wrong thread, as this thread is for "streaming" and not downloading non-streams. I get the little flv segments, 1.7mb each... but would love a workaround to get the entire video... like they were getting with the steams in previous posts above.

Confirmed!
