Need some help to capture a streaming video please.
4wd:
This is probably very easy for those who do it regularly, (or are addicted to online video :P ), but I'm not one of those people.
I'd like to capture a video from the TVO website that is an interview with the Ice Pilot we had on our cruise but I'm not having any luck finding the URL to download or capturing the stream using various programs, (eg. Replay Media Catcher, BitRecorder, etc, etc).
The direct SWF URL is Ice Pilot interview which will cause Firefox to load it into the flash player and play it, trying to download just results in a 37kB file, (the actual file length is about 24MB according to BitRecorder which captured the data stream but couldn't save it as a meaningful FLV).
The full URL to the relevant page is interview.
So I'm hoping someone in DC land can give me some help with it please.

The Grab++ addon that comes with Orbit Downloader seems to be able to identify the source .flv
Currently downloading it at the moment but the site is abysmally slow; about dialup speed; got 9.71 Mb out of ?? so far so I'm not actually 100% sure it'll work but we'll see :D
If it helps, the filename is TAWSP_Interview_112107.flv and the Referrer Domain, whatever that might be, is stream.tvo.org:1935 and the streaming media is rtmp whatever that is too.

It worked :D
I can send on the .flv to you - suggestions?
I've created a torrent for it but not sure how to send you the torrent either as it's not one of the allowed filetypes :-[

Thank you very much!!!
Not using Orbit I failed to notice the Grab++ thingy when I did try it :-[
If you'd like to send me the torrent I think you can usually get away with renaming the extension from .torrent to .cab, at least it works for other files that fall afoul of email restrictions, (archives with executables, etc).
Otherwise, I'll delve more closely into Orbit and have a go myself.
Thank you once again!!

Doesn't mouser's very own URL Snooper do this sort of thing?
