Hello and thank you in advance for any assistance that can be provided on this.
After jumping through several hoops to get access to the streaming video for this summers Olympics (subscribing to cable service that has MSNBC and CNBC, I am in the USA and don't have access to the BBC streams) I was disappointed to find that full screen video has a large banner ad at the top which shrinks the video size down. The video appears to be provided by YouTube and is available in resolutions up to 1080p and it is very annoying to not be able to watch the video in the proper size and resolution on the HDTV hooked up to my computer.
As a solution I pulled out my handy copy of Replay Media Catcher to record the video and play back in VLC player, but unfortunately only the video ad that plays before the actual video is recorded. The live streams and the recorded videos of events are not saved.
Has anyone had any luck recording from this site? I found some references recording from nbcolympics.com back in 2008, but I believe they are using a different method this time around.
Thanks again for any help.
