Problem fixing FLV files from streamate.com

Hi, I'm desperately trying to fix some files that I recorded off streamate.com using Replay Media Catcher 4. I've tried all recommendations from this forum and methods (Fix FLV, Yamb, FLV Extract, flvmdi, and flvmdigui), but none of them seem to work.

My problem is that some of my recorded videos do not play. When I try to play it with GOM player, all I get is the audio. No video. Any other suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Many players do not support FLV files properly. Do you have the same problem with Applian FLV Player?

You may post your video or PM it to me, so that I can take a look.

Yeah. It doesn't seem to matter which player I use. I've tried Gom, FLV, VLC, etc. I think its the way its downloaded but an error message is never prompted. Not sure why some downloads are successful and others are not. What is the cause? Thanks for your help anyways.

Post a link and I will try to download the same stream.

You may also upload your file to some file sharing site, and I will take a look.

If you figure out how to fix it, consider this a gift but please tell me how you did it. I have a bunch that need fixing. Thanks to all who try.

all the video chunks inside the flv have the timecode 0.

I doubt there is any way to repair this file, manually setting the timestamps with fix flv doesnt help either.

On the other hand I can record (even download) from streamate just fine? was your recording a private show or something?? wouldnt be surprised if they added some copy protection there...

I've asked the developer to test this and it worked fine for him. I've just played his recording and it plays fine without fixing for me as well.

Are you using the latest version? Are you recording a free chat or a private chat?

So no one had any luck with my video clip? I'm not sure what version I'm using. Definitely higher than 4.0 version. I use Replay Media Catcher for free chats only. For privates, I have to use Replay Video Capture. Can you record/download privates with RMC??

diablo888....Sorry for the late response but I thank you for trying. The video clip I posted was from a free chat. I noticed that half of my recordings/dls are defective. When I play the clip with GOM, I immediately see Music Notes on the screen and all I get it audio. I did learn a way to safeguard against it though. Shortly after I start recording, I right-click the download and preview it. If I get any video, I'm good. If not, I have to quickly delete the file and try and record it again by refreshing the page. Sometimes, I have to repeat the process three or four times before I get a good download. No big deal but its just a pain in the ass and sometimes I can't get it to work soon enough and I miss out on what I wanted to record.
