So no ETA, they just jumped out the boat.
Suggestions? I'm even looking for commercial software.

I'm a layperson in the subject of this forum. As far as I understand the discussion and the whitepaper on Adobe Dynamic Streaming:
1) IDM needs to implement an algorithm to handle the Adobe Dynamic Streaming Technology (e.g. read meta data from container files to get information how the stream is segmented into small files). The Adobe Dynamic Streaming is or will become a widespread technology. I think, if they don't implement these feature to handle dynamic streaming, capturing video streams on websites with really interesting content won't be possible anymore (I think, such media websites will more and more use an adaptive bitrate streaming implementation that supports protecting video content,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptiv...ate_streaming).
2) As far as I understand Dynamic Streaming, file segments are encrypted. So, IDM had to know the specific keys used for content on this specific website or they find a generic algorithm that can find these keys itself.
So, what did they say? Do they still want to support Adobe Adaptive Streaming in the near future (even if it wouldn't work with this specific website)?
