bigflix.com: How to download free streaming movies from Adobe Flash Player(RTMPE flv)

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

Is it possible to download a free streaming movie from Adobe Flash Player at bigflix.com?

I tried to download the following movie stream with several programs to no avail

http://broadband.bigflix.com/bigflicks/faces/jsp/viewFreeMovie.jsp?titleId=65&verText=undefined&isInstalled=0&browser=Netscape

Thank you for your help

It doesn't seem to be an RTMPE stream, because Replay Media Catcher can perfectly download this video:

BigFlix currently only works for me using GetFLV. Replay Media Catcher did NOT work.

Use GetFLV latest version (8.8.45) and it should work 100%.

Please tell me which version of Replay Media Catcher (RMC) is able to download this, I am exhausted.

You can try latest version of RMC with the old plugin

Also, rtmpdump can download from this site

Thanks so much for your help, at least you replied. Kindly, tell me the version of the plugin, so I can have a go.
Also, this site uses SWF verification, will rtmpdump be able to successfully download the file (actually I am a noob at rtmpdump) ?
Once again thanks very much !

RMC plugin

I tried to download the stream posted by OP and rtmpdump can download it without providing swfurl,that means it doesn't use SWF verification.If you have problems with rtmpdump,you can post it here.

Still no luck, I replaced the given 2 files (plugin_zrtmp.dll) in the plugins folder of Replay Media Catcher (Version: 3.11, Build Date: Sep 24 2009 [12:45:44]) but its not recording the following stream :

http://broadband.bigflix.com/home/Show/Ramayan/5610/-Ram-Takes-Vishnu-s-Form-

Are you sure noob2001204 this method is working with the above stream ? And regarding rtmpdump I am very confused as to how to go about it, previously someone did it for me but he/she didnot tell whether it worked or not. Following is the code submitted by him/her which went above my head

The problem is RTMPE and this includes SWF verication protection, i tried but i can't download this video. Let me try with SWF verification and i will let you know

Please help !

You seem to be using rtmpdump 1.6 or older, which had bugs in its RTMP decoder.

You should use the latest version instead. And noob2001204 is wrong, they are using SWF verification.

See here for a working example:

Nothing special. Looking at that page source:

// embed the Flash Content SWF when all tests are passed
										var 
playerflashvars="playlist=http://broadband.bigflix.com/BFDispatch.do?parameter=getPlaylistXml%26productid=5610&file=rtmpe://bigflicks.fcod.llnwd.net/a1728/o27/vault/videoclips/tvshows/Ramayan_300.mp4?e=1262150903%26h=2c0aef931b8e3269d111765eafa27683&autostart=true&title=Ramayan&AcudeoProgram=4adda463e65d6&roll="+roll;
										var 
playerSrc="http://broadband.bigflix.com/apache_file/flash/BIGFlix_Tremor.swf?f="

Current SVN code works fine...

I'd kiss you if you were in front of me, thanks so much !
Then this means the videos at BigFlicks are downloadable, but if you could help me a little bit more that would make my day. Firstly, please confirm whether you are also using the version 2.1b of rtmpdump that can be downloaded below :

http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/downloa...1b-windows.zip

Secondly, I searched but couldn't find a tutorial on rtmpdump like a beginners guide or something, hence kindly let me know only once how to get started, I mean what all to type, etc. step-wise-step. Please help as we noobs won't be able to learn how to use this great application.
