Downloading/recording/capturing flash .FLV streaming from YouTube

 

I've created some threads about YouTube downloading/recording/capturing techniques some time ago:
YouTube video downloaders: How to Record/Capture/Download flash videos from YouTube
YouTube: How to download YouTube videos without downloading and using any software?
The best web-browser plug-in for downloading YouTube videos

Javi Moya's web-site was one of the mentioned tools. I prefer Javi Moya's Firefox plug-in to the web-site. But I prefer DownloadHelper plug-in to Javi Moya's plug-in for Firefox.

There is no any problem downloading from YouTube 'coz the HTTP protocol is used.

Re: Getting/Capturing/Downloading .FLV flash videos streamed through the http protoco

 

WM Recorder can download flv videos in two modes:

Downloading HTTP flash videos with WM Recorder in the ADA mode

1. Launch WM Recorder
2. Switch to ADA mode and check Auto recording
3. Open your web browser and navigate to a web-page with an embedded flash player
4. Play flash streaming video
5. The recording will be done automatically.
6. Stop or pause the flash streaming video on the web-page. Or just close the web-page with the embedded flash player.

If you play several HTTP flash videos, they will be captured automatically.

If you know the URL of some HTTP flash video, you can download it WM Recorder in the URL mode:

1. Launch WM Recorder
2. Switch to the URL mode
3. Copy the URL of your flash video and paste it into the URL editbox of WM Recorder
4. Type the filename of your flash video into the File editbox of WM Recorder
5. Hit the record button.

If you know the URLs you can download flash HTTP videos with any download manager, so I don't think that you will need to record multiple URLs in the URL mode.

Re: Getting/Capturing/Downloading .FLV flash videos streamed through the http protoco

 

Hey, thanks for the tip. I may have to adjust my need to take the entire video and then split it later - much more work. I find that my Replay ScreenCast allows recording of any small region where I draw an outline. However, it now all of a sudden does not record audio - and I don't know how to fix it. It worked most satisfactorily until recently. I believe this s/w failed to function immediately I let my WMP receive an "update" by a movie site that sounds like internet flics (get it?).

I believe Replay sells the WM Recorder (WMR) you mentioned. I trialed it, works great. Just don't want entire films (too many are too long).

If you have any pull with Replay or Applian, please encourage the feature I want.

How to download/capture rtmp:// flash video .flv stream from Flash Player with Jaksta

 

Jaksta (editor's choice) can download and capture packets coming to your Adobe Flash Player. To download or capture RTMP streams with Jaksta:

• Run Jaksta
• Click the Record button
• Navigate to a web page with your video stream and play it in the embedded flash player.
• All .FLV flash video streams broadcasted through the HTTP or RTMP protocol will be downloaded/captured automatically.

Please note that when Jaksta captures packets from flash player (rather than downloads RTMP streams), you need to play an audio/video stream fully to capture it.

Re: Getting/Capturing/Downloading .FLV flash videos streamed through the HTTP protoco

 

Tried everything.... There's a web site http://streamtivi.com that has links to many live streams (in German). I need to save them so we can watch them 6 hours delayed, otherwise, we just see the late-night stuff. When you click on the stream icons, the video starts in an embedded player on a new page. I have found that I can "snip" out a couple of lines from the web page source, save the simple web page to a .html file on my disk, and launch it with Firefox and get the video to play in a blank page. These html lines to embed the player are even provided once the flash player starts, so it's a no-brainer. Digging deeper, I found that the player starts by downloading a small java script file that launches the player with the right parameters. I tried many of the suggested rippers and nothing worked. rtmpdump, as well. But it appears not to use rtmp protocol. Digging deeper using tcpdump on Linux, I found that it does not use port 1935. Rather, it sends a stream of UDP packets with port numbers like 53170, but the port is different each time, although the port stays the same once the video starts (this is at least one good thing). I found this out by dumping all traffic with tcpdump (and the -w outputfile option) , and looking for the port that is being used for 99 percent of the data, and that it was indeed an internet address in Germany. I can then use tcmpdump with the -r option to read in the dumped packets from the file and filter out the desired port only, and re-write it to a new filtered dump file that only has the port 53170 packets, or whatever port, the next time it will be 48552 or something. I then tied to use the perl script that is available online to create .flv files from tcpdump output files to no avail. Clearly, this is a new kind of steam since it is clearly not rtmp protocol. I hope this is enough information for someone to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

Re: Getting/Capturing/Downloading .FLV flash videos streamed through the HTTP protoco

 

Here's some more information about this site that I want to record. I was able to isolate just the neccessary HTML lines. If you take this HTML snippet below and save it as a .html file and open it in your browser, the video will play in an embedded flask player in an otherwise blank page. If you change the "id=" variable, you get different programs. I'm a newbie at this and I was hoping someone can tell me what kind of stream it is and how it can be recorded. Not even sure this is the right forum.
