How to download flash video RTMP/RTMPE streams with freeware rtmpdump and URL Snooper.

1. Start URL Snooper select the the "General Options" tab and click "Auto Determine Network Adapter Now" or choose the Network Adapter manually.
   
   
   
   
2. Select the "Search" tab and paste the url to your video page at the bottom. Then press the "Download" button.
3. Search for RTMP or RTMPE in the "Protocol" column.
4. Right click on the URL and select "Copy selected URL (Strip all args)".
   
   
   
   If you don't find any RTMP streams then click on the "Sniff Network" button in the URL Snooper and start playing your video stream in your browser. Wait until you see an RTMP link.
   
5. After you copying the RTMP/RTMPE URL, use the RTMPDump command line tool. Download rtmpdump.exe and save it into the C:\rtmpdump folder, for example. Then start the "Command Prompt" (Start->Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt) and in the command line type:
   

   "C:\rtmpdump\rtmpdump.exe" -r "rtmpe://fl11.c90909.cdn.qbrick.com/90909/_definst_/kluster/20091027/geose_PG-1131239-010A-TRUEBLOOD1" -o "c:\downloads\video.flv"

   and replace the "rtpme://"-stream with the one you copied from URLSnooper. Right click in the command prompt to Paste.
   
   
   
   
6. If it works, RTMPDump will start downloading the RTMP/RTMPE video stream and will save it as "c:\downloads\video.flv"
   
   
   

Please note that RTMP/RTMPE streams that use SWF Verification are supported by rtmpdump, but you need to provide some additional parameters.
