Re: Why are some AOL videos easy to capture and others not?

Well, to be perfectly honest, I've never had any luck with AOL videos until someone clued me in on changing the URL (Progressive Stream, _mov etc etc).

I've tried several different ways using the programs people have mentioned on here Replay A/V, URL Sniffer, HiDownload) but I've never had luck capturing the streams other than by capturing the .mov version. Any other time I try and capture the .wmv, the hour glass just sits at 0% with no results. Maybe I'm selecting the wrong stream? Is there something special I have to do to the address for the .wmv version? What program should I be using to capture the .wma version?

This is a strange intermittent problem as the original poster mentioned. I was able to download:

http://progressive.stream.aol.com/ao...8534052_dl.mov

(You can see it has the extra extention of "_00602498534052" after the file name simaliar to what the Britny Fox address has)

No problems with Zombie. But Britny Fox, I'm stumped.

I'm not opposed to trying other ways, but would really like to retain as much of the quality as possible. I've always thought the .mov was as good as it gets...

Thank you.
