Re: Recording Amazon Instant Video On Demand (AIV, VOD)


subinbar, do a side by side comparison of the (two) posted media info for this particular TV-episode (*.FLV). you'll see that in the media info of GFLV's download result the video time length piece of information is missing. THIS MEANS THAT GFLV's *.FLV FILE NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

on the other hand it should be true that, if you extract the audio & video track from the two flv's, both results (GetFLV vs. rtmpdump) are 100% identical.

As you know, "FLV" is just a container (or wrapper) like zip/rar/mp4/etc. When you stream download ("capture") FLV's with any known rtmp recorder, the container gets slightly damaged. That's what the FLV fix tools are good for. Surprisingly, rtmpdump downloads perfect FLV-files with 100% intact containers.

In the end the container's content matters. GFLV and rtmpdump preserve 100% intact and identical contents (=audio + video track), so no need to worry if you downloaded FLV's exclusively with GFLV. at the end of the day i prefer using GFLV too! has a beautiful looking user interface (blueish colors )...
