How can I record these RTMP streams?

How can I record these RTMP streams?

 

A friend's son graduated from college last week. They asked me to see about making a copy of the video from the service.

Here's the web page with the video:

http://www.emory.edu/commencement/webcast/index.html

Here's I think the flash code related to the video. I tried saving the mp4, but it's only 73KB, I change the rtmp to http and that doesn't let you get the file. Any advice?

<script src="http://realaudio.service.emory.edu/clients/jwplayer5.9/jwplayer.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<div id="mediaplayer" ></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer('mediaplayer').setup({
'id': 'playerID',
'width': '520',
'height': '316',
'provider': 'rtmp',
'streamer': 'rtmp://realaudio.service.emory.edu/EVENTS/COMMENCE/',
'file': 'commence2012.mp4',
'modes': [
{type: 'flash', src: 'http://realaudio.service.emory.edu/clients/jwplayer5.4/player.swf'},
{type: 'html5',
config: {
'file': 'http://realaudio.service.emory.edu/m3ugen/iPhone-src/EVENTS/COMMENCE/commence2012.mp4',
'provider': 'video'}
}
]
});
</script>

Download this package and extract it in a folder!! Then double click on command.bat! ;)

THANK YOU! It's doing it now, but it looks like it'd be fine. Can I ask - would you then convert it into a more 'usable' / easier to play format? mp4?

Any recommended converter you like?

Wow! You guys are great!

Re: How can I record these RTMP streams?

 

Sorry, one more question.

Is there a way to tell what the quality of the flv file is so that when i convert it to mp4 (using ojosoft total video converter), I don't choose super high quality and it takes so much longer to convert but there's no improvement in quality since I started with an flv that is 'good' quality and could have just chose a good quality for the mp4?

Right? (using somewhat of an analogy) making a blue ray of an old vcr tape will not give you blue ray quality. You'll just have a much bigger file and the quality will be vcr quality? Or taking a picture of a document with 14MP camera gives the same legibility of the text as a 200dpi scan would, but you have a much larger file?

Re: How can I record these RTMP streams?

 

Why don't you just use ffmpeg like the previous poster suggested? ffmpeg remuxes as opposed to converting and should be quick and light on your CPU.

Re: How can I record these RTMP streams?

 

Greeny - why? ignorance : )

I will use it!

Just did. Damn! Much faster! and a problem I had with ojo was that the original feed was widescreen and the ojo mp4 is 640 x 480.

ffmpeg kept the proportions.

I make problems for myself : (

1 question - the audio of the mp4 using ffmpeg is just a tiny hair off from the video. Looking at the flv, they are in sync. Anything I can do about that?

You guys are GREAT!!!

Try this:

Re: How can I record these RTMP streams?

 

Thanks. I tried that but it's still the same - certainly not a big deal, just enough to say 'yeah, they're not in sync 100%'.

I looked at

http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Audio-Options

and was going to try the asyncts option, but that's not a switch, right? not sure how to use that.

Re: How can I record these RTMP streams?

 

Never used asyncts before, so I can't help you there. Maybe someone else around here knows how to use it?

Also, what's the resolution of the video you got?

Re: How can I record these RTMP streams?

 

how would I see that (the resolution)? watching the mp4, I don't have an info page that I can see in quicktime.

Re: How can I record these RTMP streams?

 

Well, how big is the filesize?

Re: How can I record these RTMP streams?

 

1.3 Gb

Re: How can I record these RTMP streams?

 

Ah, alright. Well I found that there is a 720p copy of the video file on the server as well:
So if you want a higher quality version you could download that. Maybe the sync issue would be fixed in that too.

Re: How can I record these RTMP streams?

 

use ffmpeg -i yourfile
(do not specify an output file!)

will output helpful info:

Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p, 720x404 [SAR 404:405 DAR 16:9], 947 kb/s, 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 24k tbn, 47.95 tbc
