Hi,

I want to download this videostream. I've looked into the source but couldn't find the url.
Could anyone please help me?

it's this site
http://ent.sina.com.cn/v/m/2005-07-22/1726788016.html

Thank you very much.

ps: I haven't done this for a long time. I'm using streambox btw. Is this softwareprogram ok or are there better ones out there?

umm...

It doesn't look like the normal media player. In fact, it looks like a Flash "media player". Flash has a tendancy to NOT tell you where things are coming from (I hate this).

There are other ways of figuring out where the stream comes from. But that entails a lot more work and I'm not sure if it's legal or not.

And I personally use VLC. I love it, it's great, it's free. And it can grab anything and dump it

=D

I think this is the source.

Thank you, especially OsiX for founding out the url.
Streambox doesn't work but I was able to download with flashget.
Finally I can listen to the whole song and not only parts of it

Btw how did you find out what the url is?

Wow, that was good. btw how did u know the video extension wmv? Sorry i ask silly ques coz i dumb in all this.

[HT2791]

guessed probably, since there are tons of extensions

[hanpil]

^hehe. its wmv because... if there is a wmp player on the website then it will usually be wmv or avi. if its .mov or .mpeg its a quicktime video screen in the web browser (this is based on my and many others computer settings) i search for source like that all the time.

wow, i wonder how u did that. Then can u help me to search for this particular links too at some website?
