On my Windows PC I'm currently using Replay Media Catcher which enables me to paste a url like: http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/r/movie/ and it will record/download it to my local hard disk.

I can't seem to find an equivalent for use on my other, Pardus Op system, PC.

RecordMyDesktop will work if I resize a box over the open url page but I would prefer to have a url-based recorder/downloader.

I've tried pasting the url into VLC Media Player but nothing happened. I even downloaded/installed RTMP but still no success.

Hope someone can help.

Firefox has some extensions for capturing video but they do not work on all sites https://www.google.com/search?client=op ... el=suggest

In some cases video is cached in /tmp when being played and can be saved if the browser (and tab?) is still open, but sometimes the cached video is erased so that it can't be saved.

Vlc will not work in this case because you need to provide it the video stream address not the web page the video resides on

Thanks for that. The tmp thing worked perfectly in Ubuntu but no in Pardus!

You can use a python script to copy the buffering or cached flash to your home folder or where ever you like. Download this from here

Install:

Make executable & copy it to /usr/bin for systemwide use

How to use:

Play your flash video in browser

after playing video in browser just run this command

Code: Select all

flasuck.py /home/username/Videos

This will copy your video to Videos folder

or just run this

Code: Select all

flasuck.py

it will copy the video in current directory.

Tested with OpenSUSE 11.4 32bit.


you may need to install lsof before using this script.

Well, there are some available plug-ins for certain browsers that allows you just to save files you are going to stream. Though I am not sure if the same plug-ins would be made available to sound tracks. I am more familiar with those that saves streamed videos. If you also have a mac computer, it is very easy with that as whatever you load appears at the available videos list for download.

Hey guys,

Google brought me her.
I didn't know wether to create a new thread or to use this one.
Finally I decided to take the existing.
I am having the exact same problem like originally posted. I want to capture a video from nhk world.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work (anymore?) with the firefox extension that was posted here.
Somebody has another clue?
One of the results of my inquiry was this Software: deleted
Anybody know this and can give me an opinion?
Thanks so much for helping out!

Seriously, how is this KDE related?
And it is in no way a software to record streams in general, just instructions on how to record streams from one single source.
To sum it up: irrelevant, not software, just advertizing one content provider.
