and
http://chnmstreaming.gmu.edu/historicalthinking/Scopes_Stream.mov
From these http URLs, I was able to extract the following RTSP urls:
Code:
rtsp://129.174.10.17:80/historicalthinking/SocialSecurity-stream.mp4
and
rtsp://129.174.10.17:80/historicalthinking/Scopes_Stream.mov
Now, I'm having difficulty getting these things to play smoothly (playback is very jerky in a windows VM, and pretty much non-existant in my native Ubuntu environment), and all attempts at downloading via VLC, mplayer, or openRTSP have failed.
Can anyone help me out with this? I'd really like to have these videos as a classroom resource. |
Seems the latest version of FFMPEG is able to download them. The video in the first one appears to be full of errors in the coding (ffmpeg really complains about it) - which is probably why you're getting odd results in the Windows VM. I don't know about the MOV because I don't have any that plays MOV's here...
The command lines I used (in Win 7, Pro):
Code:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://129.174.10.17:80/historicalthinking/SocialSecurity-stream.mp4 test.mp4
Code:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://129.174.10.17:80/historicalthinking/Scopes_Stream.mov -acodec copy -vcodec copy test.mov
Best of luck
[edit: The MOV looks like it may be just audio anyway, so VLC will play either file]
