thanks for the reply! it's a little vague for me, and after trying to make sense of the process - i'm stuck.
ok, i'm running windows 7
trying to load this video stream into vlc:
hxxp://www.justin.tv/roxnation4#/w/1795300736/18
i was successful in running
RTMPexplorer and rtmpsrv.exe, and i was provided this:

i included this since there were errors mentioned i wanted to make sure it was working as it should.
so as far as i know it provides the rtmpdump -r.... code.
but i'm not sure how to use that
i understand your instructions about replacing the .flv file name found after the -o with your command for vlc, i'm just not sure how to get to that point.
i could use another nudge in the right direction..!
rtmpsrv does create a .flv file - i tried to open it directly in vlc without success - can i use this created file for anything?
also, i read another guide - do i need to be concerning myself with editing host files (127.0.0.1), etc? is that the right path?
i appreciate the help in wrapping my head around rtmp!
also, my main interest is with recording the stream - i'm familiar with doing that in vlc, which is why i'm focused on it. is there an easier process/program for recording live non-embedded streams?
