Re: Recording LOVEFiLM ( lovefilm.com = lovefilm.co.uk )


Just reporting *FYI*, i've been testing lovefilm.de Video on Demand and while it's true that RTMPexplorer and GetFLV can download the videos more or less fine, i get best results with TubeDigger because of its automatic resume function.

With GFLV, the first ~2 videos i tried to download, no problem. After that batch, i tried hard to download more videos the next day but after a few seconds of download i had to manually STOP and START, i.e. RESUME, the downloads, and this stop'n go reminded me of Amazon Instant Video downloads.

With TubeDigger, i am downloading now 3 videos simultaneously, and you can tell when/where the program resumes a download. It works perfectly well. You dont have to do anything. The download just goes on and on and on .. until completion.

Rtmpexplorer and rtmpdump interrupted the download at some point too (for example at 1.8%) and the automatic resume failed.

So my recommendation goes to TubeDigger (for lovefilm.de, and probably for the other lovefilm websites too)!!

As a final note:
lovefilm streaming videos are in low resolution (= low quality). You get better quality from torrents, blogs, and other FREE sites. i would keep lovefilm streams only if you're a movie collector and cant find the video elsewhere, or if you need German language synch'ed videos.
