I need to record/download/capture/rip/save RTMPE video streaming from Hulu, MTV, CBS and MySpace. Is RTMPE stream recording/downloading/capturing/ripping/saving possible at all? Are there any programs that don't mention anything about it on their web-sites, but still are able to handle the RTMPE protocol?

[Stream Recorder]

Adobe continues to threaten companies that develop software recording video streamed through the RTMPE protocol (because RTMPE recording presumably violates DMCA). Although this is pointless, because open source software rtmpdump 1.6 supporting RTMPE recording was spread all over the world.

Software that supports secure RTMPE protocol

• GetFLV (Windows/Shareware) supports RTMPE streams with SWF Verification.

Software that does NOT support secure RTMPE protocol anymore or that is not distributed officially anymore

• rtmpdump 1.6 (Windows,Linux, Mac OS / freeware) - command line utility that supports RTMPE streams and SWF verification. Not distributed officially anymore.
• Replay Media Catcher (Windows / Shareware) - The latest versions doesn't support RTMPE streams anymore.
• Jaksta (Windows / Shareware) - The latest versions doesn't support RTMPE streams anymore.
• save2pc Pro + Extra Pack (Shareware/Windows) - The latest versions doesn't support RTMPE streams anymore.
• Hulu Video Downloader, ComedyCentral Grabber, MTV Grabber, CBS Grabber (Windows / Freeware) - Not distributed officially anymore.

And of course you may use screen video capture software to record anything you see on your screen.

rtmpe:// recording works for me on mtv.com using rtmpdump:

rtmpdump-WIN32-1.6.exe -r rtmpe://file.mp4 -o output.flv

Replay Media Catcher (with rtmpe plugin) failed on mtv rtmpe mp4 streams. RMC works on some rtmpe:// flv streams .

Jaksta failed on the mtv rtmpe mp4 streams.

did not try other downloaders.
hope this helps!

What software do you use to find RTMPE stream URLs?

Adobe forced the developers of both programs to remove support of RTMPE stream downloading/recording/capturing/ripping/saving.

unfortunately i could not find any way to find RTMPE urls. Replay Media Catcher (RMC) can detect them, but does not report the stream url in the error message.

Is there any way I can ask how you got rtmpdump WIN32 1.6 to work? I can't even open it. I'd really rather not partition off my hard drive to use Linux just for this.

rtmpdump is a command line utility. You need to open Command Prompt first and then launch it from there.

Okay, thank you!

One more question. Am I doing something wrong here?

I want to download this link rtmpe://fms-edge02.omroep.nl/3v12/MP4:41944313.mp4 so i typed it in plus -o output.flv

It download about 7% and then stopped so I tried it several times making sure I typed everything correctly but everytime it says the stream isn't found. Are they on to me?

The only thing I can suggest is to use the --resume option:

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://fms-edge02.omroep.nl/3v12/MP4:41944313.mp4" -o output.flv --resume
