Tutorial: How to download free streaming videos from CTV with Replay Media Catcher

It isn't working for me on ctv.ca.

I have web stream dumper checked but Replay Media Catcher is not detecting any video on the site. I'm using Firefox.

I tried with Internet Explorer, the only thing RMC detected was the advertisement that preceded the video.

I have tried again and had no any problem downloading rmtp mp4 video from cta.ca with Replay Media Catcher.

Web Stream Dumper only works with HTTP streams. Please make sure "Capture RTMP streams" is checked.

It is also important to start recording with Replay Media Catcher and then and only then open your web-browser and navigate to a web-page with your a video stream.

p.s. And that's smart of you to use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.

I have that option checked and I started recording before going to actual page and it's still not working. I've used RMC dozens of times without issue. I don't know what the problem is.

It's not smart, it's just not dumb. IE is the McDonald's of browsers.

What version of RMC do you use? And what OS?

[Kat]

RMC Version 3.01
Firefox 3.0.8

I can't record mp4 video with RMC v3.0.1 either. My OS is XP sp3 and browser is also Firefox 3.0.8.

RMC is no longer a viable capturing tool anymore as there is more and more popular stuff it can no longer get than what it can.

However, many things don't work using Firefox anymore too and now require constant tinkering with to accommodate. Perhaps you should try using a different browser.

I opened a ticket and the 'solution' was to upgrade which I knew wouldn't work and guess what? It didn't.

As stated in my first post, I had tried with IE already. Since then, I've tried other browsers.... only the ads were recorded.

I like Firefox and most of what I need I've been able to record using one or two tools but ctv is a nuissance.
