It seems the problem is that there really isn't a high quality (what hulu calls "480p") version on hulu's server for this episode. There is only the standard quality file. So, GetFLV is grabbing a link to a H264_400k file that isn't there. Plus, getflv is not picking up the standard quality link for some of these episodes.

To demonstrate this, try the episode "The Three Stooges - Hoi-Polloi":
Code:
http://www.hulu.com/watch/23064
For that episode, getflv does find the standard quality link, and is able to download.

So, it seems that getflv needs some more work for these particular episodes to make sure it gets the correct high quality link, and also always gets the standard quality link too.

I should also mention that getflv occasionally has a run-away memory leak problem; at times it can grab over a gigabyte of memory.
Thanks blimey for your reply, very clear explanation. I will try your suggestion, to download the episode "The Three Stooges - Hoi-Polloi". I do enjoy reading about the technical aspects of GetFLV. It is the best program to capture these hard-to-capture-streams. Great Program and keeps getting better.,. I would like to be a GETFLV beta tester.
