Replay Media Catcher doesn't react to Fora.tv

[thefatalex]

When I start a video playing on this website it doesn't start downloading. I don't know what the problem is.

Example:
http://fora.tv/2006/09/28/Roderick_MacFarquhar

It will download the advertisement but not the video. I haven't had trouble with other websites ie: Google video, youtube, and others.

Appreciate any help.

Although they use HTTP streams, I son't really know how to download them.

I used Live HTTP Headers to find out the following:

This is Adobe's new HTTP Dynamic Streaming - much like Microsoft's Smooth Streaming. It doesnt seem to be widely used as it requires Adobe Flash Player 10.1.
The video is streamed in small chunks ~200-300 KB. Although you can add "video/f4f" to the content type and download such chunks, I don't see much sense in this.

I can only suggest to record such streams from screen using software like Replay Video Capture.

p.s. I guess HTTP Dynamic Streaming will be supported in the future versions of RMC. Subscribe to an RSS feed at http://www.applian.com/blog/updates/ to know about updates of Applian software.

I want to record a time limited video from fora.tv for later viewing.
I can record from public Fora.tv sites using Media Catcher 6 but not from password protected http://films.fora.tv/sfiff-online-screening-room/art. I entered the password and could view the film but still couldn't record it. I finally used Video Capture 7 but would prefer ease of Media Catcher.
Is there a special setting I should use? I would appreciate any suggestions for settings or other plug-ins or scripts.

Thanks for a great product and support.
