Re: Recording video from BBC Learning Zone


Hi guys,

Thanks for these replies.

I tried GetFLV but it doesn't work for some reason. It picks up the rtmpe address and I can attempt a download but the file just sits in the download queue. There are no messages explaining why the download isn't working.

The addresses on the right work to stream the video, but when I use them with orbit they just download as a link to the video online.

GetFLV did give me the rtmpe address which I tried to use with RTMPdump. The address is:

When I use this in the command line I get:

There is a lot of info here about downloading using rtmpdump but I'm afraid I don't understand it. I know I need to get parameters for the command line but I can't figure out what they should be. Can anyone help me with that?

Also, I am using Windows 7 64bit and I have to go through a proxy server to view the videos as I am not in the UK. I am using Identity Cloaker which is working great but I'm not sure if network traffic from the command line is routing through it. Is there another parameter in rtmpdump I need to use for a proxy?

Thanks for all the help so far.

John
