www.cbsnews.com: Problem downloading CBS News video with rtmpdump

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

I've tried to launch rtmsrv in Ubuntu Maverick to record the following video

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6816773n

I got the following command

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cnetmedia.fcod.llnwd.net:1935/a3706/d1?ovpfv=1.1" -a "a3706/d1?ovpfv=1.1" -f "LNX 10,1,102,65" -W "http://cnettv.cnet.com/[[IMPORT]]/vidtech.cbsinteractive.com/player/2_7_0/CBSI_PLAYER.swf" -p "http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6816773n" -C Z: -y "mp4:media/2010/08/29/60_bloom_829_598.m4v" -o 60_bloom_829_598.flv

but I get the error only when trying to download:

It worked BUT the output is a STLL image displaying CBS Logo.

Any idea why?

Thanks a lot!

I think its only active during certain periods of the day and not 24/7.

I'm guessing the stream logo is hard-coded thats why
