Video broadcast split into flvtags - any ideas?

[mucea]

Hopefully I haven't opened a new thread on an old issue - but I've searched and I haven't found a topic on this, so here goes.

I am interested in the interview that the following page contains

http://www.eugeniavoda.ro/ro/emisiuni/presa/cristian-tudor-popescu-2011

Rtmpsrv/suck won't pick up the stream; same goes for other tools. Basically, the swf player seems to be broadcasting a flash video that is composed out of several files entitled .flvtags. (seconds 0 to 7 - file 7152.flvtags, seconds 8 to 11 - file 11985 flvtags, and so on - that's what comes up when reviewing the traffic).

I take it these are some small .flv fragments that are sent one after the other, composing the entire movie. The question is whether there's some way to download the whole movie as one file, or get it as several files that some tool would eventually merge. Any suggestions (other that the screen recording)?

you can write a simple script which downloads all fragments and stitches them together. it's fairly simple.

Thanks, KSV, but U the man with the scripts. I'm only a tester of your work, great work btw. I'll probably let the show run, extract all the addresses and batch download them - luckily enough they're on http server, so any downloader will do. After that, for joining, I'll see what's what.

That should help some.

here's a little php script to download the video. it takes two parameters, first is base url (not page url) of video and second is filename with which you wanna save the file.

usage:

php EugeniaVoda.php http://eugeniavoda.ro/videos/shows/CristianTudorPopescu_2011.flvtags CristianTudorPopescu_2011.flv

or

just double click the script and it will ask for base url and filename.

Downright awesome! Thank you KSV, this did the job perfectly.
