Or you could, oh I dont know, read the thread?

So no ETA, they just jumped out the boat.

Suggestions? I'm even looking for commercial software.

I'm a layperson in the subject of this forum. As far as I understand the discussion and the whitepaper on Adobe Dynamic Streaming:

1) IDM needs to implement an algorithm to handle the Adobe Dynamic Streaming Technology (e.g. read meta data from container files to get information how the stream is segmented into small files). The Adobe Dynamic Streaming is or will become a widespread technology. I think, if they don't implement these feature to handle dynamic streaming, capturing video streams on websites with really interesting content won't be possible anymore (I think, such media websites will more and more use an adaptive bitrate streaming implementation that supports protecting video content, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptiv...ate_streaming).

2) As far as I understand Dynamic Streaming, file segments are encrypted. So, IDM had to know the specific keys used for content on this specific website or they find a generic algorithm that can find these keys itself.

So, what did they say? Do they still want to support Adobe Adaptive Streaming in the near future (even if it wouldn't work with this specific website)?

They just told me in the end "no ETA". Simple like that.

IDM is a commercial software, I payed for it (I know lots just use a cracked/spyed version).

Well, I refuse to support such a thing, I payed for Digital Concert as well, and will NEVER re-subscribe if I cannot download the stuff, because is not practical at all to watch it in "realtime" when Internet never was meant to be "realtime" in first place (there will always be delays, links coming down, hijacked networks, etc, etc). Imagine watching a concert and then... BANG!, super delay or even link/connection lost! Then you need to re-watching it from start? No way!

I just don't understand why Digital Concert won't permit download of content for those payable users, after all, they produce a lot content in a year, so they never will miss new subscribes, even re-subscribes.

So in the end, WE ALL loose!

I did a downgrade on flash version, and guess what?

"Please update Adobe® Flash® to version 11 to ensure the best viewing experience."

Figures.

This #&@!@$* started at v11.

They would be trying to develop a decoder for F4F files, something which there is NO whitepaper, currently under NDA by Adobe. FFmpeg developers nor Bluecop have a solution for this yet.

I payed for 1 month of Hulu+ so I could download 60 GB of older videos, then cancel it. The best you can do is cancel your sub to digital concert and make it known of their terrible service, which you have done. Any complaints to them directly will fall on deaf ears Im sure and not worth your breath. They dont permit download because THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. Poor tech and poor service will be their end, such as Adobe already failed on tablet PCs. I am a happy paying customer to VIMEO because they have good tech and CARE about their customers.

Well, I like the CONTENT from Digital Concert Hall, unfortunately they do those crappy things like: you CANNOT download, even if is LOW quality!

Sigh. Any other site like Digital Concert Hall? With download possibility?

I cannot cancel something I payed for a whole year.

The official F4F specification is only available , as of now, through an NDA. The following thread gives all the details : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/685558
