Trial version can only download first 10MB

We have a forum for special offers, but I really doubt that it is possible to get a 50% discount except for a New Year offer.

Jaksta can record from Hulu again. Hulu must have changed something on their end.

I got excited about this for a minute, but unfortunatley while jaksta does work, neither WM Recorder or Replay Media Catcher were able to record the hulu videos I tested. Looks like your best bet is still Jaksta or screen video capture software.

I have followed all the steps described in the following thread
How do you use rtmp dump?
to download this stream from Hulu:

http://www.hulu.com/watch/48096/the-three-stooges-collection-tassels-in-the-air

The decompressed filesize is: 1147447 bytes.
The hash is :811b9cc694f0bcd141e59d026ad022433bd3b17c08482f3bb 2abf8b47bca79d2.

By using Jaksta, I chose this stream to download using RTMPDUMP:

rtmp://cp51756.hulu.com/ondemand/?auth=daEahdQaWbqaMd8dNaJcDacc_ahdqcrbOaM-bkBLtv-c0-3qHBzDtYIAm&aifp=NS20070910&slist=content/43829/12/1002/HuluTranscode_55220_49984_FLASH_700K_4x3_23_976__YPcPmrAE20WvgRJo0cvwuQ;.international=false<break>content/43829/12/1002/HuluTranscode_55220_49984_FLASH_700K_4x3_23_976__YPcPmrAE20WvgRJo0cvwuQ

The download file is: HuluTranscode_55220_49984_FLASH_700K_4x3_23_976__Y PcPmrAE20WvgRJo0cvwuQ.flv.

Now, I have to sort all of this out and try to assemble the correct info string to use with rtmpdump. I am stuck at this point, I know this is a RTMPE stream. I also know that
from the playerswf.swf information I get

http://www.hulu.com/player.swf

and this part needs to be part of the info string. If any member has come up with the right way to assemble the info string to download this stream using RTMPE, we all will be very thankful. Thanks in advance.

You maybe can try:

-s "http://www.hulu.com/player.swf"  

or

--swfurl "http://www.hulu.com/player.swf"

Thanks for the reply. I am confused about these RTMPDUMP commands. Could you please give more specific information regarding this. Where do they go in the RTMPDump download string?

All hulu content is now protected using SWF Verification (a copy protection mechanism) and it is therefore illegal to download it even for personal use.

I would recommend using a product like Jaksta on fancast.com that provides Hulu content but still provides streams that are not copy protected.

HTH.

it is illegal to download Only in USA but in another country it is not.
