Re: www.TV.com: How to record HD video streams from TV.com (RTMPE .flv)

i've picked the Victorias Secret show. (find it!! )

when i play it in GFLV, i get 5 different stream quality options (bitrate, resolution), see screenshot. I can download all streams at the same time!, see screenshot.

TV.com is not the original publisher or producer of the video content .. but it takes, similar to Hulu, the videos from "hundreds" of U.S. TV stations and posts them on their webpage (or links to the original webpage). As it is common practice, the video material itself is NOT hosted on TV.com servers nor on the original websites (CBS, ABC, NBC, etc.) but on the typical "edgefcs.net"-servers.

Even with proxy servers, the download from TV.com is very fast (350KB/s),.. so if you need HD videos, TV.com is a good alternative to look for them.

The Victorias Secret stream url is:
Code:
rtmpe://cp48590.edgefcs.net:1935/ondemand?ovpfv=1.1&?auth=dbEcMb5bzavaZavcicTakdMcxaScycmbkak-bnSe6D-h0-buy-MaDNhUkd&aifp=v001&slist=video/temp_hd_gallery_video/CBS_Production/573/542/
Good luck!

THE MAIN POINT IS:
Most videos on the inet (by TV stations such as CBS, NBC, ABC, etc.) are *not* available in HD quality (i.e. 720p or higher). But *if* it is, programs such as GetFLV will automatically tell you by catching all possible streams. In our example, the Victorias Secret, the video is available in 5 different stream qualities. One of which is HD!
