Well done

WOW!

I just viewed the CHEK TV Halibut report and found that they used footage from one of my YouTube videos.

I'm trying to figure out how I can capture the video that CHEK posted - if anyone has an idea, I'd love to hear it.

you can download a screen recording program

You can also accomplish this with some online services, here is one of many; http://www.captureyoutube.net/

Thanks for the tips, but CHEK has a strange site that makes it very difficult to grab their videos.

I tried a screen capture program (CamStudio-2.6.b) but it couldn't grab the audio and then it screwed up my audio settings which took me a bit of work to set back so my Skype and other programs would work again.

The Capture YouTube website looks good, and I'm sure I can make use of it, but it is not working (so far) on the CHEK page. CHEK does not post their videos to YouTube, so those type of programs won't work on it.

There is one work around that you could try, but that will depend on how the player is set up. Some players are encoded at the same time that the video is into one projector, this said, it would appear that they are using the JW player which simply is a stand a loan player that grabs a specified content from a different location, mainly to hide the direct source location and to make it hard to leach off the site. There is an embedded code share feature in the JW player, that if you want to set it into your website you can use this code, just copy & paste into your website where you want to show it;

 <embed src='http://www.cheknews.ca/flash/player-viral.swf' height='225' width='400' bgcolor='0xffffff' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' flashvars='&backcolor=0xffffff&bandwidth=458&file=dcdf7afa2e2c422193fdce204022fc16.flv&frontcolor=0xffffff&image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cheknews.ca%2Fmedia%2FViewer.jpg&lightcolor=0x000000&plugins=viral-2d&screencolor=0x000000&skin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cheknews.ca%2Fskin%2Fbeelden.xml&streamer=rtmp%3A%2F%2F148.obj.netromedia.net%2Fchektvod&stretching=exactfit'/>

The work around that I mentioned, you will need to figure out or find the source URL for the video and not the player and then make a live URL link in your site pointing at the file, right click and save source as to download the file to your computer. In this case, it may only capture the player and not the actual video as it does appear that it is not encoded as one file. Hope that helps or makes sense.

Ding Dong!:

Thanks. I've been playing around with the embed code, but so far no luck. They've done a really good job of hiding the source URL for the video.

I copied it into Notepad and have been looking through it, but just can't find the source file.

Though I note that CHEK had no problem copying and using my video without so much as asking! Not that I mind, but an email asking me for it would have been nice. Oh well, as long as it furthers the cause!

Judging by the page source they are using a flash streaming service for the source which is separate from their main host server. They have used a combination of Java Script through js files and encrypted html to hide portions of the page source. The following code tells me that you will not be able to grab the flv file directly without a good capture app.

this code shows the media server address where the flv file are hosted.

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
createPlayer('rtmp://148.obj.netromedia.net/chektvod','dcdf7afa2e2c422193fdce204022fc16.flv');createViewer('viewerlists/allClips.txt');//]]>
</script>

Ding Dong!

Ps. if you can locate and find the following txt file, more than likely it will list the file names of each flv file in the video gallery. 'viewerlists/allClips.txt'

 

[Ding Dong!]

Found it, here is the list of URL's for the player to load from;

Hi Jim,

I have adjusted embedded code to play the halibut clip. Simply copy and paste the following code into the body of any html or php, asx and it will play the halibut clip for as long as they keep the file in it's place on their server. Good luck! Yes I tested it an it works, take care.
