Title: Anyone know how to "streamrip" a QuickTime file?
Post by: sidewalking on 2005-06-08 14:47:22
Anyone know how to "streamrip" a QuickTime MOV file to save it on a Windows machine?  I am trying to watch Steve Jobs' Keynote from Monday (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/wwdc05/) where he dropped the bomb, but at work my proxy isn't liking a QT stream through the standalone player and it won't open in iTunes.  If I watch a stream that is embedded in a browser, I can sometime save it after it caches, but this is set to only launch in the standalone player. 

Can anyone help me out?  Will any other players play a QT stream?


Here is the link to the source stream:

Thanks,

Scott

No, the file you want is this one:
Code: [Select]
rtsp://a2047.v1408b.c1408.g.vq.akamaistream.net/5/2047/1408/1_pt2_650/1a1a1ae151c12d92fd62db49b82c91bf23920977e352b31745a61172df40a9d73aa9164576aada12/wwdc_2005_2c_pt2_650.mov

You need a stream downloader. There have been some good threads with suggestions for this. Like this one. (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=33198)

most of those look like they are audio ones (will save that Streamripper for further use  )

Anything on video capture?  VLC seems to do it, but I will be damned if I can figure out how to do it through a firewall or proxy.

I was about to suggest mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/), but it doesn't seem to be able to save a quicktime stream: neither your url, nor the one Mono gave. Works nicely with Real Media & Windows Media streams, though.
(I'm using MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.4.2, Windows version)

mplayer is a powerful and very light multimedia (audio & video) player with command-line interface.
For those who would like to try it, it works like this:
mplayer urlOfStream -dumpstream -dumfile dumpedStream.extension
If you go through a proxy, set http_proxy variable:
http_proxy=http://myproxy:9999/
Example with WMV (From a TV show called "zapping", daily best of French TV) :
mplayer mms://vipmms.canalplus.fr/canalplus/zapping_051014_a.wmv -dumpstream -dumpfile 14.wmv
(Web page here (http://www.canalplus.fr/index_popup.php?pid=1&cid=16904&tpl=108&acc=1&from=authentif&nopub=1))

Gui is a separate program available here (http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~mfie/index.php?software=mpui)

About saving quicktime streams:
Maybe net transport (http://www.xi-soft.com/default.htm) can save a quicktime stream.
VLC: settings seem complicated, but maybe VLC can do it. Haven't had luck with setting of the proxy when I tried.

Edit: url of zapping wmv stream
