Can't save/dump RTMP stream from edge02.fms.dutchview.nl with VLC

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

hi there,

when i want to open and convert a videostream (RTMP) with VLC for Mac (latest version), the conversion process stops within a few minutes, so i end up with a partly downloaded (and converted) file.

what i select in VLC:
1) Media --> Convert/Save --> Network
2) Protocol: RTMP
3) Address: rtmp://edge02.fms.dutchview.nl:1935/hetgesprek/20080516160000AMS_2_1_1311
4) click Convert/Save
5) Destination file: C:\directory\filename.asf
6) Profile: Video - WMV + WMA (ASF)
7) check Dump raw input

i tried different output settings besides ASF and WMV, and also the "Stream Output way" (which has slightly different output options), but it abruptly ends everytime. any ideas?

if not; any idea on other program(s) to save this flash video stream as lossless/uncompressed as possible, or to .asf or .avi directly?

You can try to find the RTMP URL with freeware WireShark. Then try to download the stream with freeware rtmpdump.

Need an easier way to download RTMP streams? Just use Jaksta for Mac.
