www.cbs.com: Recording Full TV Episodes from CBS

[Kat]

It was painful lol but I upgraded GetFLV. Thanks for replying, it's working now.

Testing for the sake of testing. Hi, can someone maybe test the following with the demo version?

testpage url (video link!):
http://www.cbs.com/specials/ultimate_look_back/
==> "THE GOOD WIFE : Tues 10/9c"

GetFLV 9.0.0.5 catches the stream (in 4 different bitrate options) but can download only 1 stream option!

download result:
GFLV downloads only 1 file.
resolution dimensions: 384x216
bitrate: 268 Kbps
size: 11.9MiB

so where does it say that CBS streams in HD?

We can download all your 4 bitrate videos no problem. Can you give us detailed description about your problem?

Thanks!

THE GOOD WIFE



works today. didnt work yesterday. i've switched proxy configuration and now it works!! the screenshot shows how i am downloading all 4 different streaming quality streams (resolution dimensions .. there are 2!):

+ 11.9MB, 268kbps, 384x216, 24fps
+ 16.6MB, 400kbps, 640x360, 24fps
+ 27.2MB, 700kbps, 640x360, 24fps
+ 44.9MB, 1200kbps, 640x360, 24fps

And as we can see, none of the streams is "HD" or "720p". On the other hand, the 1200kbps-stream is HIGH QUALITY: when you maximize the picture to full screen, the picture looks really really brilliant.

True "HD" quality is reserved for prime time shows, see:

Doing a test:
The Big Bang Theory - The Herb Garden Germination
Air Date: 04/07/11
Full Episode 21:03
_http://www.cbs.com/primetime/big_bang_theory/video/?vs=Full Episodes

i get:


and the 4 different quality streams are:
+ 50.8MB, 384x216, 268 kbps, 24fps
+ 68.9MB, 640x360, 400 kbps, 24fps
+ 116MB, 640x360, 700 kbps, 24fps
+ 191MB, 640x360, 1200 kbps, 24fps

Again, there is no "720p" (1280×720) as you can see.
The 191MB file looks really good on the screen .. so there still isnt any evidence that CBS broadcasts in 1280x720, am i right?

RMC4 downloads CBS streams the same:
+ 50.8MB, 384x216, 268 kbps, 24fps
+ 68.9MB, 640x360, 400 kbps, 24fps
+ 116MB, 640x360, 700 kbps, 24fps
+ 191MB, 640x360, 1200 kbps, 24fps

There is no video in 1280x720!
