  1. Run RTMPexplorer and close rtmpsrv by pressing q or closing it's window.
  2. open your video url in RtmpExplorer.
  3. when channel logo video starts playing quickly start rtmpsrv again.
  4. when you see the activity in rtmpsrv window (Duplicate request, skipping) etc. close the RtmpExplorer and rtmpsrv.
  5. copy the last command line from Command.bat. it should be like following.
    Code:
    rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://cp72511.edgefcs.net:1935/ondemand" -a "ondemand?ovpfv=1.1&auth=eaEbIcWdPc0csdGdzc9cZaYc1acaLd_dobka.ddbVchdcc1a3dqdxcSclb9aqaRa5dz-boHts0-eV-8zu4DCplDuys&aifp=v002&slist=production/" -f "WIN 10,3,183,10" -W "http://www.itv.com/mercury/Mercury_VideoPlayer.swf" -p "http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/video/?Filter=273823" -C Z: -y "mp4:production/CATCHUP/e98b52c6/13b6/4d00/8397/2846345a1073/1-0694-7695-001_CORONATION-STREET-(SERIES-52)-2011_TX190911_ITV400_16X9.mp4" -o 1-0694-7695-001_CORONATION-STREET-(SERIES-52)-2011_TX190911_ITV400_16X9.flv
  6. change the bitrate in command line to download high quality version. e.g replace ITV400_16X9 with ITV1200_16X9

Closed down both rtmpsrv and rtpmexplorer

However - couldn't find "COMMAND.BAT" - is this supposed to be created in the user directory somewhere?

Am getting there, albeit very slowly!
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

I don't see Command.bat, either. I simply press CTRL-S in the rtmpsrv windows to pause it, and copy from it the command line in it, which is chopped up to short lines of 80 characters per line. So you will have to patch them back manually or using a program. (I am using "recording" feature in the VIM editor.)

Changing the bit rate in the command works most of the time but for some shows/games not all the bit rates are available. And sometimes the file name does not follow their naming convention (e.g. RWC U.S. vs. Russia _http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/video/?Filter=273630 ). Is there a way to find out all the available bit rates and the corresponding file names when they are named following the naming convention? It would be nice to if that info can be had. (GetFLV lists all the bit rates. I guess we either have to pay or labor through it.)
