Record NBC Flash Video Streams

[RDunbar]

I am new to this forum so hope I am not asking a question that has been addressed before. Is there a way to record an NBC flash video stream? Here for example is the link to their full episodes of "Life":

http://www.nbc.com/Life/video/episodes.shtml

I select an episode and it begins to play and is very good quality but is frequently interrupted for buffering. I am on a Verizon basic DSL connection. I would like to be able to record some of these and then play them back later to avoid the starts and stops.

Thanks

I will thanks.

I have HiDownload , URL Helper and turned on Port sniffing but did not find any ‘.FLV’ or ‘.SWF’ URLs even after video began playing. I could not find any such files in my browser cache either. I also have NetTransport but without a stream URL I can’t start a new download – very perplexing!

HiDownload and NetTransport can't download rtmp:// streams.

Orbit Downloader can download RTMP stream, but you should have rtmp:// stream URL for it to record.

Replay Media Catcher and FLV Recorder can record rtmp flash video streams, but they do not reveal the rtmp URLs they find and record from.

I downloaded and installed the trial version of ‘Flv Recorder’ but it also installed ‘WinPcap 4.0’ – is this used by ‘Flv Recorder’?

‘Flv Recorder’ recorded and played back very well but I could not jump around while the ‘.flv’ was playing using the scroll control of the player. It moved OK and reported that it was ‘seeking’ but when I released the mouse button it resumed playing right where it was previously?

Thanks again for your help.

Of course FLV Recorder uses WinPcap. The version of WinPcap coming with the software is always recommended for smooth work.

I'm not sure. Please try other FLV players.
