I have yet to actually make this work; my videos end up only consisting of the keyframes.
Oh yes, I remember there being problems with Adobe HDS for people trying to capture BBC streams of the 2012 Olympics. Adobe HDS segments are variable bit rate which makes audio re-alignment tricky. What I think I recall regarding the Adobe HDS streams from BBC is that HDS was just a default stream. If I remember correctly, any problem loading the HDS links resulted in a redirect to rtmpe streams, which presented fewer problems. I don't know if that's the way NBC is doing it, though, because I haven't had it fail to load the HDS links.

Any thoughts on the possibility of finding rtmpe streams?
