Downloading embedded video: .swf files

I'm trying to learn to use BitRecorder, but I have a problem.

First I go to the page, then I press Start on BR. Then I play the video. A file is constantly being generated on BR, and when the video, finishes, this is the screen that appears:

http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w54/edoreld/Imagen2.png

The file is the 4th (last "1.FLV")

It seems alright, but when I go to the folder containing it, the only thing I find is a 2kb file that doesn't play

Thanks for any help you can give me ^_^

 

Edoreld,


I had a similar problem trying to get the video you requested with Bit Recorder. I don't know exactly what causes the problem, but BR for some reason had a hard time snagging that one. It'd only grab the shell/first pic.

What you might want to look into is another program (which isn't free, but I can give you it for free since I have it) called Replay, by Applian. If you'd like it, email me at: adamryan@live.com

I'll drop it in a zip with instructions to guide you through it, alright mate?

Adamryan,

I've seen you helping out with downloading a lot of videos online, do you know how to download .swf games that are embedded and then possibly hidden within that? I want to download the games off this site: http://www.orisinal.com There quite a few and I've been able to download the embedded file, but then there is just a blank box (hidden content?). If you can help that would be Awesome!

thanks

 

Thegad,

Email me at adamryan@live.com, I'll gladly hook you up with a program that most people have to pay for, but that I'll give to you for free. It can download games from that site you've linked. I just tried it on the duck game, works perfectly.

Hi,

I've just gotten rid of tv and am only downloading tv torrents, but my wife loves the home and garden channel as well as the food network, and I am trying to download her videos of these shows.

On this page:
http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv56/videos/index.html

I've gotten to the part where I think it is an xml config file. Here is the code:

----------------------------------------------------------
<object width="576" height="638" data="http://common.scrippsnetworks.com/common/snap/snap-portable.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

<param name="menu" value="false" />

<param name="scale" value="noscale" />

<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

<param name="flashvars" value="config=http://web.hgtv.com/webhgtv/hg20/snap-configs/hgtv-player-fullsize.xml&channel=13037&channelurl=http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/channel/xml/0,,13037,00.xml&videoid=" />

</object>
---------------------------------------------------------------

These videos are being constantly updated, so I would really like to download it every week.

This is where I am stumped. Can you help?

Thank you.

That's easy, and you don't need windows movie maker. The best way to do it is to convert it to .mp4 (if it isn't already), and extract the video from the file in QuickTime.

This process is fairly easy/quick to do:

1) go to movie properties (press Ctrl + J)
2) deselect "sound track" so that only "video track" will be extracted.
3) a window should pop up with your video track. export the video (Ctrl + E) to your preferred directory (desktop, My Documents, etc) and voila, you're done!


To the guy who said use Windows Movie Maker: that is a horrible suggestion. Even though I personally LOVE WMM, I have to admit that you lose clarity often when the original video files (if they aren't in original .wmv format) are converted to .wmv after you export the file.

Hey, I'm so sorry your comment got overlooked.
Here you go:

It downloaded in ".FLV" format, by the way. If you don't have a player that can read that format, I strongly suggest Video LAN's VLC Player. It's free and can play almost every type of media file available. If you're unable to download it for any reason, let me know and I'll convert the video file to a more convenient format for you.

I know I'm getting to this a bit late, but if you can still find the videos on that site I'll gladly get them for you.

DBCDebacle,

Here you go:

It's in ".mp4" format which can be played by iTunes and VLC Player. I strongly suggest VLC Player, of the two. It opens faster and can play more files.

Tell your mother-in-law I say hi. =]

p.s. i found out why the streaming video is so fuzzy. the video resolution's height-to-width ratio is SUUUUPER TIIIIINY! but don't worry, if she's only wanting to watch it for instructional yoga she might not mind it. you can stretch the video out to a decent size in VLC player, btw.

 

Since you like challenges and I found this a little over my head, I have to ask...

I am dealing with a video that originally looked SWF, but after looking through the URL I found this and was able to isolate this...

http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/f...50/eagles/2009video/cunningham090128flash.mp4

It the video I am after but it downloads as only one frame. I'm guessing it is a container but I haven't figured out the whole Hex Editor deal.

All help is appreciated greatly. Thank you.

 

Zillator,


1) Here's your video:

http://www.filedropper.com/cunningham090128flashmp416a045cb


and

2) Trying to figure out the file's source location using the Hex Editor process is a bit difficult if you're a n00b, but don't worry! There exists a much easier process. Read through the previous posts I've written, and if you have any questions or would like to download more videos just let me know. I'll hook you up with a program that can nab anything.


cheers,

-adamryan
