[Stream Recorder]

Sorry for not making a wrong statement. By command I meant exact parameters that you use with rtmpdump.

The program doesn't ask any details about SWF player.

This may help a little bit:

Thanks, I think I give up tbh mate, I've tried everything, Every string, all commands and still just an empty file, and get no further than the handshake, I don't know anyone that has downloaded a 4od show from their new site successfully, Thanks for all the help anyway.

I found that if you disable hardware acceleration via flash player (right click on the video playing), and then record the screen (I use Techsmith Camtasia), The quality is great with no slowdown, hope that helps some people.

So, is there someone out there who can solve this problem? It can't be that difficult, surely?

The fates are conspiring against me. I can't even get Camtasia Studio to record the video from my screen - the video is fine but the audio comes in 36 minute blocks of soundtrack interspersed with 36 minute blocks of white noise.

You may try some other screen video capture programs.

See the following thread for more:

Has there been any developments on this issue? I am annoyed by the new version of the 4od service too. I keep losing connection on my crappy wireless adapter in laptop so I have to sit through 30+ seconds of adverts and the program starts from the beginning. All I want is to dl the video to my comp with a resume function when I disconnect.

I noticed the following link in the temp folder of Opera but don't know whether it is the advert or the program:

rtmpe://securestream.channel4.com/4oD/mp4:assets/CH4_08_02_16_47111005001001_001.mp4

Has anyone found a way to dl programs for the new 4oD?

I gave up in the end and just use WM Capture. The results are surprisingly satisfactory, with quality significantly better than achieved after a digital download followed by conversion from .asf to .avi or another editable format.

Although file size is larger, I've found that by recording pop-outs at medium window size I get a very acceptable balance between quality and file volume.

In any case, I never needed perfection in the first place. I'm only trying to help an expat family member to watch favourite programmes in far-away places, not trying to run a bootleg commercial venture.

Maybe GetFLV can help you.

I still have the same recommendations for RTMPE streams from 4oD: GetFLV or freeware command line utility rtmpdump

[dps9682]

rtmpdump has the same problems as I posted above awhile ago, just saves a 1.8k file of nothing, and just tried GetFLV, It does the same, saved a 1.8k empty file.

I use Camtasia Studio to capture the screen now as no video downloader has worked, WM Capture refused to accept my sound card, so thats out for me.
