Re: How to save Silverlight (nbcolympics.com) video?


Have you tried Replay Media Catcher 4 (Jaksta)? It supports version 1 of Smooth Streaming Media which is what a lot of videos on nbcolympics.com are streaming. Some are version 2 which I am still working on. In any case RMC 4 (Jaksta) will tell you if its version 2 and not yet supported.

Please read the following about Smooth Streaming Media and how to handle the resulting fragmented MP4 file.

What is Smooth Streaming Media?

Smooth Streaming Media is a new protocol for delivering HD audio and video from Microsoft.

Smooth Streaming provides a High Quality viewing experience as the quality of the video and audio served to the client adapts to the viewers connection speed.

RMC 4 (Jaksta) can detect and download Smooth Streaming MajorVersion 1. Jaksta will download the highest quality audio and video stream available in the streams manifest.

The resulting ISMV file is a fragemented MP4 file. The only player that can play these files is Microsofts Expression Encoder 3 (with Smooth Streaming). It also allows you to convert these files into other common formats. Microsofts Expression Encoder costs around 30 USD and is available from the Microsoft store.
