Anyone know how to grab streaming vids?

I'm sure this has probably been discussed before, but I can't find it.

I've got a pass to all the hustler stuff at the moment, so it would be nice to be able to share it if possible

Cheers

Cheers Tommy.

Looks like a bit of a non-starter though :?

 

I hear on fire fox when you watch the vid it saves the file to your temp file and you can move it to where ever you want. But I never tried it.

 

try right clicking on the vid. then select properties and then copy the vid url into WMP. and it might work. let me know.

 

Firefox: a) after finishing viewing open new window -> type "about:cache" as url -> search for the vid -> save to disk
b) right click on the page the stream is in -> on the lower end of the appearing context-menue something like "show page informations" (sorry, have the german version running) - not source-code! - -< tab "media" -> scroll down to the vid, mark it and press button "save as"

IE: after viewing the vid, check your TEMP-folder, IE saves the vid there under the original name -> copy or move it in your desired folder

 

This is a Tuturial on how to successfully and easily download streaming videos.

To use this Tutorial, you will need the two programs listed below, and access to the webpage the streaming video is displayed on or from.

Hidden text :



You will need;

1) NetTransport - a download program specifically designed for this purpose,
it allows fast and reliable downloading by making multiple connections to the
server hosting the stream, available at;

http://www.xi-soft.com/default.htm

2) Mozilla Firefox - an excellent internet browser that you should be using anyway.

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

Method;

1. Open the page the video is displayed on

(e.g. http://members.pornsite.com/videos/porn.htm)

in the Firefox browser.

2. Rightclick on a blank space on that page near to the video display. Click on "View Page Info". Then click on the "Media" tab.
Scroll down the Media tab untill you see a media objecy of the type "Embed".
Select this object, and then copy the url of this object from the lower part of the window. The url will typically looking something like:

mms://pornsite.com/media/porn.wmv
(where the stream is hosted by the website)

OR

mms://xx.pornserver.com/media/pornsite/porn/full/porn.wmv?TOKENID=xx7X7JADh
(where the stream is hosted by a third party server)


3. Open NetTransport, click on the "Job" tab, and then click on "New Download".

4. In the "Add new download" window, paste the url you copied into the "url" box. Then, copy the url of the page the streaming video
was displayed on into the "Referrer" box (this is sent in the request to the server, making the server believe that the request
from the stream is in fact coming from the original web page, not your computer).
If the stream is hosted by the same website that allows
you to view the stream, (e.g in the Embedded url we found, the hostname is the name of the pornsite, and not a third party server)
you may need to enter your username and password in the appropriate boxes in the "Add new download" window,
but I've seldom found this to be the case.

So, if the original webpage we had was:

http://members.pornsite.com/videos/porn.htm

and the embedded url we found was:

mms://xx.pornserver.com/media/pornsite/porn/full/porn.wmv?TOKENID=xx7X7JADh

Our window should look like:



Now we're ready, just hit the "OK" button.

5. You can tweak the number of bots to use by right clicking in the "Course/Log" window and selecting "Increase" or "Decrease".
I find that about 5 gives me the best results, but find whatever works best for you. Be warned, some servers may have a maximum
number of connections per IP, so your connection might get cut off if you use lots of bots.

Other Notes

Proxies: NetTransport supports the use of proxies. To use this feature, just import a proxy list in the "Proxy" tab.
The use of proxies should hopefully be pretty self explanitory. Proxies can help with slow servers, or with servers
that allow only one connection per IP. However, be warned, if you have to enter
your username and password to get the stream to download, don't use proxies
as the multiple connections will likely kill your user/pass.

Other Software: NetTransport beats the pants of other stream capture software.
By downloading directly from the source, you can download very high quality movies without any jerkiness,
even if you are on a slow connection (it'll just take longer). In my opinion, this
makes this method far superior to Programs like "Windows Media Recorder" and
similar, which simply save the stream as you download it manually, meaning if you
have a relatively slow connection, high-def movies will be extremely jerky.

Oh, wow! Never knew I could do this. Thanks for the tips.

 

Thanks a lot to everyone who took their time to give advice on this thread, but Hungerforce's excellent post is the only one that's worked so far.

I can only get it to work for realplayer streams at the moment, but that's probably down to my lack of technowizardry.
