Re: Can GetFLV download HULU video?

This is because of the flv container currently used by hulu and other sites. Getflv doesn't interpret the time code data and length properly for these sorts of files - but getflv has downloaded the complete original file. You'll need a very updated flv codec and player in order to directly play these flv files from hulu properly. Or, it may just be easier to transcode them before you play them.
blimey thanks for the info. I am using the trial version, I get the red "xmark", There is no info about the downloaded percentage, speed elapsed and remained time. My trial is about to expire. Somehow I can not download h.264streams from Hulu. I checked in the downloaded folder, I have one file at 13bytes and the other at 0bytes
