I just downloaded the demo software Replay Media Catcher to see if it would capture the streaming video (slideshow) from this website. I have not had any luck. The only thing I am able to capture is the music only.
Will this software capture a slideshow from this site?

Below the pictures is an arrow which starts the slideshow with music.

Please let me know if it will work on this site.


Thanks,

Which slideshow are you referring to? I don't see any on the site... I probably am looking in the wrong spot though...

Arrow down the page slowly and below the group of pictures is a gray box with a white arrow. Click on the arrow and the slideshow will start with music. It captures the music but not the slideshow. Each wedding has a group of pictures with a slideshow that plays at the end of each gorup of pictures.

OK found it...

This is an SWF (shockwave flash) file (http://www.studiotranblog.com/slideshows/tarac/) that shows random pictures loaded from an external file (http://www.studiotranblog.com/slideshows/tarac/showit.xml).

This content is all dynamic... so it's not technically a "video"

What you would have to use is a screen recorder (http://www.applian.com/replay-screencast/index.php) to get the sequence of pictures shown the way they are.

Media Catcher just catches the audio since that's the only thing that is streamed from that page.

Hope that helps...
