Record streaming video from Espn360.com/Move Networks .qss files from MoveMediaPlayer

 

Do you know anything about .qss files?

Espn360.com seems to do streaming in a very different way, serving a lot of .qss files of around 250k each that somehow the plugin interprets as the audio and video stream.

So far it seems resistant to my attempts to capture it using the normal capture tools like WM Recorder, flash recorder, etc.

Many content providers including ABC, NBC, CBS, Discovery who don't want their streaming media to be recorded switched to MoveMediaPlayer by Move Networks.

MoveMediaPlayer downloads chunks of the video by issuing sequential specific HTTP GET requests for the proprietary Move Networks .qss files. It seems like they slice a single TV episode up into multiple .qss files of around 250K each.

I don't know any way to re-assemble these qss files onto something playable. Screen video capture sofware is the only choice to record such streaming videos.
