512875 2007-01-05 06:59:00 Hey all,

I'm d/loading some video from the tv3 website

Here's the link to the streams:
www.tv3.co.nz

And here's the link I use to d/load the stream (change number for each part or course)

content.mediaworks.co.nz

The video is in 7 parts.

I've already d/loaded 6 of them with no issues at all.

Part 5 will only d/load 23% and plays fine but is not complete.

If I stream part 5 however it plays the whole thing fine.

So I'm thinking I may be able to work around this with some screen capture program. (Of course it needs to capture the sound too.)

Any Ideas please?

512876 2007-01-05 09:58:00 Hmmm...I'm not having any luck finding a suitable screen capture program.

By "suitable" I mean: able to capture the video and sound of a web based video stream.

Actually I'm begining to wonder if I'm searching for something that may not exist.

Can anyone help please?

512878 2007-01-05 10:37:00 Thanks, but unfortunately that won't work (and dosen't, I've tried) on the tv3 site.

It's a tricky site to d/load vids from.

512879 2007-01-05 10:55:00 Have you tried another program like SDP?
http://sdp.ppona.com/
or is that what you are using right now.

512881 2007-01-05 11:04:00 Yeah scrap my previous post, VLC is the best, as zqwerty recommended above. :) yzhu (9783)
512882 2007-01-05 11:30:00 VLC, SDP, and others work fine.

The problem is only with part 5 of the 7 part doco. (try for yourself...it gets to 23% no matter what I use, which is only 6mb of 29mb)

however when part 5 is streaming it streams the whole 29mb np.

So, I've d/loaded the other six parts np....just cant get more than 23% (6mb) of part five
