You can make selections and just not record the whole screen.

Sites like YouTube and DailyMotion are relatively easy to get around using RealPlayer11 (as noted above) or other plugins and add-ons (or even a local proxy). These really aren't "streaming" video in the truest sense of the word, and are actual files that can be downloaded intact independent of your bandwidth.

The biggest problem is that the files usually have some kind of epoch time in the URL so hitting the originating server won't serve the file again after some time has elapsed (IIRC YouTube uses a 6hr expiry on URLs).

You can see the epoch time in the DailyMotion URLs as "auth=1261720032".

The ones that are the hardest use Adobe's RTMP which are TRULY streaming video, where the URL is of the format:

http://IP_ADDRESS/send/STREAM_IDENTITY

and


http://IP_ADDRESS/idle/STREAM_IDENTITY

which send chunks of about 500bytes at a time. Most of the BBC News videos use this method. Presently, for the Mac, flvstreamer is possibly the only way to grab these but I've yet to build this and experiment with it.

Hi,

You are completely right but I can t find the DMG of flvstreamer.

Do you have any download link or any other solution to record RTMP streaming ?

thank you

Not at this time. You'd need to build flvstreamer from source. I haven't attempted it. A friend had a stream downloader on Windows that used to be free but it no longer is. In time, somebody may build a binary for MacOS.

The programs you link to are great if you have un-interrupted full quality stream to record but all these do is record what you see in your browser. Thezine (and myself) are interested in solutions that allow you to download ALL parts of the stream and piece them back together as a Flash Video file, thereby giving you the highest possible quality.

 

Firefox with Extension

I use the Firefox browser with a video download extension. Also, a Quicktime plugin called Perian may be needed to enable Quicktime to play flv and mp4 video formats if the downloaded videos don't play. All 3 are free downloads from their respective web sites. Instructions on where and how to download is on the following web site:

I've successfully downloaded Youtube, Flip and Vimeo videos, and I've imported the videos to iMovie for editing without a problem. Previously, I tried TubeTV for downloading streaming videos, but only got error messages.
