One of the rare occasions just happened - I wanted to capture a video clip from the bbc site. The previous technique I used does not now seem to work on this site, maybe they have changed their approach or something?
The particular clip I want is entitled 'Rufus' review' and is not far down in the main article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7140443.stm I am using gutsy, with mplayer (plugin) in firefox. The clip plays ok in the browser, I just want to capture the clip. I have looked in the mozilla cache, video does not seem to be cached it seems, not there anyway (firefox 2.0.0.11) The url of the target clip seems to be rtsp://rm-acl.bbc.co.uk/news/media_acl/mps/fix/news/business/video/138000/bb/138961_16x9_bb.rm?title="BBC"&author="BBC"©right="(C) British Broadcasting Corporation" and using cl (in a test of playing it prior to using dumpstream etc etc) I obtain: ================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mplayer -playlist rtsp://rm-acl.bbc.co.uk/news/media_acl/mps/fix/news/business/video/138000/bb/138961_16x9_bb.rm?title="BBC"&author="BBC"©right="(C) British Broadcasting Corporation" [1] 11374 [2] 11375 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ MPlayer 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu13.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (Family: 15, Model: 2, Stepping: 9) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection.
