www.livestream.com: How to download with rtmpdump

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

hi,
I'm newbie here. I try record a stream from the livestream.com and read this one:
How do you use rtmp dump (rtmpdump tutorials)?

I used the rtmpdump and I want to record the whole Oscar Red Carpet Ceremony:
"http://www.livestream.com/theoscars"
I found the rtmp URL:
RTMP App:

rtmp://x39x.od.livestream-api.com/mogulusProxy

Media Path:

mp4:dv03/mogulus-user-files/chtheoscars/2010/03/07/ace18fc1-0bf6-4c82-bfe8-c6b734548a7d.mp4

and I used the command:

rtmpdump -r rtmp://x39x.od.livestream-api.com/mogulusProxy/mp4:dv03/mogulus-user-files/chtheoscars/2010/03/07/ace18fc1-0
bf6-4c82-bfe8-c6b734548a7d.mp4 -e -o oscary1.mp4

but I have a problem because the download is aborting. I tried two times, first abort after 10%, and the second after 25%. The ERROR was:

ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet body. len: 2172
125111.388 kB / 1845.90 sec (25.8%)
Download may be incomplete (downloaded about 25.80%), try resuming

what to do? Do you can help me to use the appropriate parameters with rtmpdump? Is it possible to download the whole file (642 MB)?
regards

my OS is Windows Vista Basic (32bit)

I'm not an expert in rtmpdump. You can probably try to use rtmpsuck, but I don't really know how to set it up on Windows Vista.

You can also try many other RTMP stream recorders besides rtmpdump:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://x36x.od.livestream-api.com/mogulusProxy" -W "http://cdn.livestream.com/chromelessPlayer/wrappers/SimpleWrapperAS3.swf" -p "http://www.livestream.com/theoscars/video?clipId=pla_becf1a3e-425d-4c2e-a3f6-291341b377ac" -y "mp4:dv03/mogulus-user-files/chtheoscars/2010/03/07/ace18fc1-0bf6-4c82-bfe8-c6b734548a7d.mp4" -o output.flv

thanks @hyc (this was my post)
I download whole file (I watched to the end) but surprisingly the rtmpdump message was:

479611.854 kB / 7142.97 sec (99.9%)
Download complete

but the file should be 642868.740 kB. Any ideas?

Not sure if Livestream.com changed something but this method that worked for me back in April no longer works. Can anyone help? Trying to grab an archived show of mine. It didn't record locally like our other shows so the only way for me to get a copy of it is to grab it using rtmpdump. Please help. The URL for the show is

http://www.livestream.com/desmoinesamplified/video?clipId=pla_64228ae6-ed68-4375-82aa-377fa4f57f78"]http://www.livestream.com/desmoinesamplified/video?clipId=pla_64228ae6-ed68-4375-82aa-377fa4f57f78

Try to use rtmpsrv or rtmpsuck. It is better to use the latter in Linux.

You can also use other programs for recording RTMP streams from livestream.com in Windows:
