it nabs a 343 byte size file that just opens up the stream in VLC

The fact that you were able to get the whole file in its original state is very exciting/keeps my faith up. Much thanks to you.
So, might some of my settings be off? Which feature of NetTransport did you use to capture the file?

Hey, you must use rtsp link in NetTransport, instead of http link:
rtsp://stream.army.mil/army%20band/broadcast%20archives/2007/03/24/Yamamoto/yamamoto-128k.mov



note: if you use one "thread" is better!!

Good Luck!!

Bahman, I don't know what to say other than thank you. What a tit move I made to not try the rtsp link I posted at the top of the thread. I've been trying to capture this stuff for months and now I finally have it. Thanks x1000000
Thanks to Blimey, as well for pointing me in the right direction. And bat999 for his suggestions.
cheers fellas, happy trails

Like this:-

in the future, just copy the audio to mp4 like so:

ffmpeg -i "rtsp://stream.army.mil/Army%20Band/Broadcast%20Archives/2007/03/24/Yamamoto/Yamamoto-128k.mov" -acodec copy yamamoto-128k.mp4

reencoding is bad. even to lossless flac

Yes, I agree, this method is best.
Let FFmpeg mux straight into mp4 (or m4a).
No need to transcode.
