www.channel4.com: Any way to capture video from the new 4OD service?

[danwilson82]

Hi Guys, have been reading this with interest the last couple of days.

I am trying to get the entire 5th season of coach trip onto DVD for a friend which is on 4od.

It looks like the only way to do this is by purchasing GetFLV for $59.95.

Was wondering if anyone who already owns this prog would be interested in capturing the entire series for me and putting them on DVD for the same price as the programme as I would never use it again, plus I have contacted the authors to purchase and have received no response.

If anyone would be interested i'd be eternally greatfull and happy to pay ?50 for your troubles. Please get in touch

I've already said that CooJah will do it. If it's the 4OD on YouTube, even GetFLV won't do it, so you would be wasting your money. If you don't believe me, download the trial version of GetFlv and try it.

If you're still stuck, post the links to the series you're after and I'll do it.

Update:

I've just used StreamTransport to download the first episode of Series 5 of Coach Trip. There are about 30 of them, so it's going to take a long time to download the rest.

This program is free and easy to use, so you can do it yourself.

Er... You obviously didn't check Usenet - the whole series is happily sitting there right now. I know this 'cos that's where I got them. You won't believe me tho' - so here's proof:

Erm no, sorry you're wrong... those six episodes aired as the series from 7th October this year - the pilot episode I was referring to aired alomost a year earlier in 2009. You won't believe me tho' - so here's the proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhoneShop#Episode_list

Actually, speaking of USENET, all of the Coachtrip S05 episodes that danwilson82 is after are available on the newsgroups except it seems episodes 9, 15, and 29. Couldn't find those three episodes on upload sites either so you might want to get those from 4od - the rest I can put on a couple if DVDs if you like (forget the 50 quid, just a couple of quid for the blank dvds and postage is fine), although I get the feeling that zarathustra is already on the case

Erm, nope ur wrong sorry, like I said the episode I was after is an episode that aired before the series was made (as part of the Channel 4 Comedy Showcase) and is called New Man. Those episodes you quote are the episodes that made up the series that aired a year later in October this year. You won't believe me tho' - so here's proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhoneShop#Episode_list

But thanks for looking for me anyway, it's appreciated. Like I said I already found the episode on eDonkey so it's all good

BTW, good to see you also use NZBMatrix - along with "SABnzbd" and "Sick Beard" and "PS3 Media Server" all my usenet download and playback options are fully covered...
