Hulu Captures Fail

[Bloemer]

Hello,

I have been using Replay A/V for awhile now, and have been generally happy with it. However, I would like to capture and convert a Hulu screencast for later viewing on my Sprint Treo 755p. I am capturing on a Vista notebook (Sony Vaio) but have disabled User Account Control, so videos do show up in the window that lists potential capture streams. However, I cannot seem to capture the correct stream.

I am currently trying to capture the video Master and Commander. I start Replay A/V (8.31) and open the recording wizard. I select "Record something right now," and "Capture a video clip or audio archive from the internet." The Stream Capture window appears. I ensure "Show SWF" files is checked, and then I navigate to the Hulu page where the movie shows up. I arrange the windows so I can watch the Recent Audio/Video URLs window. At the moment the leader ad is finished and the movie starts, a new real: stream appears. I select that stream, and click "Add Selection as New Recording."

The Edit Show Properties window appears. I give it a descriptive name, and select "After Recording, Convert to Video - 3gp (15 fps)," then click OK. The new recording appears in the Replay A/V window, shows Connecting, and then almost immediately shows Preparing to Convert, and then Converting and the Converter window appears. Shortly thereafter, the show then indicates Unscheduled. If I go to the appropriate capture folder, there is a video there, converted to 3gp format, but it is a short advertisement, not the desired video. If I go back and try again to play and capture the video (that shows just fine in my browser window), no new streams show up in the capture window. The web page I am navigating to to show the video is:

http://www.hulu.com/watch/1522/maste...e-of-the-world

and the stream capture URL that got recorded is:

Another stream I tried was:

...but it was also an ad.

Looking for any suggestions that might help. Thanks.

For Hulu you will need to use Replay Media Catcher. It does a great job so give it a try.
