Application or plug-in for grabbing streaming video?

I am looking for a shareware application or plug-in for Q-Time or Safari that will simply allow me to grab a streaming video I am viewing on the web. I don't need a power program.
If anyone has a suggestion, website, other forum (I've already queried Tiger and Q-Time forums), or other direction to point me, TIA.

CosmoPod downloads the original file format (which can be retained), then converts to either MPEG4 or H264 (Best or Better). The file conversion is dependent on your Preference settings.
For functional purposes, CosmoPod places a Tool Icon on your Toolbar. Plus, the download/preference panel can be accessed via the Window menu. Videos can be directed to a Download location, or directly to iTunes.
Whether or not a file can be downloaded depends on file accessibility permissions on the provider's end. Trial version gives you 5 days/10 videos, which ought to give you a sense of whether it serves your purposes.

1. Control click the file you want to open.
2. Click Get Info.
3. Under open with, pick the App you want to be default.
4. Click Change All Button.
5. Confirm your decision.
You have to do this with every file that has a different extension. You can't change the default for every file with a different extension in a single operation.

Creating a custom player for live streaming video

I have live streaming video set up where I use the Flash Media Encoder to send the live stream to a Flash Media Server. Then, the Flash Media server packages this stream, and sends it to whatever websites requests it via the url. I know how to create a Flash move or even asc file, and then have Flash generate the html for that saved movie so that I can embed it in a web page and play it. But in the case of live streaming video, there is no pre made asc file or movie to reference. So I need some help about what I need to do to play live streaming video in a flash player embedded in a webpage, that will also have some custom action script for controlling playback and other things.

About a half-hour after making the changes I outlined above, and long after I closed the active Safari window, noticed that my MBP was uncharacteristically hot. Extremely hot!
Opened Activity Monitor and saw that Flash Player was still running (?) and using a tremendous amount of system resources. I then quit Safari altogether. Within moments, the heat began to subside.

Need plug-in for C-SPAN video

This is a question from my mom. Recently she got an error message from C-SPAN, saying that she can't watch a live video streamed from the website for this kind of plug-in: MIME type "application/X-MS-WMP." Do you know why or how we got in and where can we fix it by installing this plug-in to make her happy. Any ideas would help?

Are you really still on 10.4.4? You should update to 10.4.11. Then:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.1, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11.
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 and have Quicktime 7.4 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
and then the latest version obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-004. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):

Mac-compatible plug-in for feathered-wipe video transitions?

Does anyone know of a Mac-compatible alternative for SpiceMaster for creating feathered wipe video transitions? I've just been handed off a job (let's just say the company who started it is "no longer in the picture") and all they used feathered wipe via the SpiceMaster plug-in about 100-150 times (in a 15 minute video — sigh). Anyways, I can't change the visual direction of the project, I just have to clean up the mess. We're Mac-only and the SpiceMaster plug-in isn't available on the Mac.
While one option is to use a liner wipe Video Effect (which allows for the feather), because of the amount of transitions in this job, that's not only a major pain in the arse in itself, but having to move clips in alternating tracks and overlap the footage, etc. becomes a huge headache when they decide to change the edit (as, all of a sudden, the alternating of the clips to different tracks goes all out of wack).
Anyway, I'm hoping someone could suggest a Video Transition plug-in that would allow me to do feathered wipes. It'd mean the difference between a quick replacing of the SpiceMaster transition with whatever plug-in I could use vs. a nightmare of a project using the linear wipe Video Effect.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!!
Kristin.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried using the gradient wipe, but was unsuccessful in attaining the desired effect. Here's a quick screencap to show what I'm seeing:
The problem is, this results in a very narrow wipe. I mean, it's no longer a fine line between image1 and image2, there is some feather, but I really need to feather it out. The gradient I created is the same dimensions as the sequence I'm working in, and is a gradient from 100% black on the left side to pure white on the right, with a nice gradient in between. But, when I use this, it's almost like the source gradient is squished in (on the width) resulting in a very narrow feathered wipe.
Below is an example of the rendered video as it was when using SpiceMaster to create the feathered wipe. The first image is the image directly before the wipe starts, the second image the image directly after the end of the wipe, and the third image is a capture mid-wipe. As you can see, there is a very wide feather during the transition as opposed to what is seen in the screen capture above.
Am I doing something wrong when creating my custom gradient? It seems like, since my source file is a nice, wide gradient, it should result in a wide feather, but for some reason it seems to squish down into a narrow feather?
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Kristin.

Flash player controls (for live streaming video) frozen...

Hello,
Lion, Flash Player, and CNN's live-video player are not playing together nicely on our 2010 MBP 13". In fact, they're not playing.
Have tried the latest suggested fix, which is to right click on the errant video stream, then disable hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, right clicking brings up a "frozen" settings box. None of the buttons can be clicked, not even cancel.
Have accessed Flash Player through the Control Panel, but there is no switch there for hardware acceleration.
Bottom line, am now unable to view live video content from CNN and others.
Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash. Have tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome. And am not a step closer to a solution. Was hopeful that today's install of Lion would set things right, but alas...
Your suggestions greatly appreciated.

About a half-hour after making the changes I outlined above, and long after I closed the active Safari window, noticed that my MBP was uncharacteristically hot. Extremely hot!
Opened Activity Monitor and saw that Flash Player was still running (?) and using a tremendous amount of system resources. I then quit Safari altogether. Within moments, the heat began to subside.

Closed captioning for rtmp streaming video

hi, is it possible to do closed captioning in adobe captivate 5.5 if the video is set to rtmp? any reply would be helpful. thanks!

What is the subject matter of these FLVs?
If it's Captivate screen captures, then you could have added the CC text to each slide if you had left them as FMV slides.
However, if the video content is of other things, e.g. people talking or some type of action captured with a video camera, then I believe your best solution would be to add the Closed Captioning in whatever tool you used to edit and publish the video.
As I mentioned before, Captivate doesn't really provide a mechanism for adding CC text to on screen objects that contain audio in any form. So for example, you cannot add CC text to an SWF that you've inserted as an animation, even though you can record and add audio to that SWF in Captivate. Videos are in a similar position, except that they usually don't have their audio added in Captivate. They mostly come with their audio track built in. This means the only real way to guarantee good synchronisation of the CC text is to have it embedded in the video as well.

Recording streaming videos with sound

Can I use quicktime for recording streaming videos with sound? If not which Apple software can do it?
Bye Christof

You can use Quicktime to record streaming video +with it's audio+ by using a very simple trick. Using the same cable you connect your iPod/iPhone to your car's stereo system, connect your Mac's Audio OUT to its MIKE IN jack. I used FILE / OPEN URL to select the video stream source, then selected FILE / NEW SCREEN RECORDING. In the resulting 'Screen Recording' dialog box, I set the AUDIO slider all the way to the right, and under the arrow to the right, selected "Built-in Input Line In" for the microphone. I then used the appropriate controls to play the stream and record it. The resultant file was very acceptable. Good luck.

Streaming video on youTube

My neighbor gave me an eMac for my 9 yr old daughter to use. I upgraded it to OS 10.4.11 and it works fine except for watching streaming videos. Both Quicktime and Flash stutter in Safari, but since I've reinstalled Quicktime it works only on Firefox. I cannot watch Youtube or Yahoo Trailers on either Safari and Firefox. I've reinstalled Flash a half dozen times, including the newest version- and an earlier 9.0.277.0 version--but the video still stutters. I've tried resetting the Pram and fixed permissions as well.
My internet connection is good, my MacBook Pro plays everything.
Is something interfering with the Flash and Quicktime? Anything else I can try?
eMac
OS 10.4.11
700 MHz PowerPc G4
1GB SDRAM
Safari v. 4.1.2
Quicktime v.7.6.4
Thank you,
Ayse Francis

Hi Ayse,
Issues with Internet connection speeds aside, I am afraid that the age and speed of your eMac is what is causing your stuttering issues when streaming video and YouTube. Your eMac is just not up to the challenge. Plus, YouTube uses video codecs that are designed to run on more recent, modern computers.
Your eMac's CPU and, especially, the eMac's bulit-in video card are just not able to handle the type of content and codecs that a lot of streaming video sites use now. And, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the issues are from the fact that the the highest Mac OS X version you can run is OS X 10.4 Tiger. Your eMac is 6 years old and your OS version is 4 years old.
I have single 1.25 Ghz CPU with a fairly speedy video card and 2 GBs of RAM running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard on a DSL connection and I can watch streaming video in MP4 format from YouTube, but my Mac struggles, sometimes, with 720p HD videos from YouTube and can't play 1080p videos at all.
You could try and wait and load a good chunk of the video before streaming it or use a program like MacTubes to actually download YouTube content and watch it directly from your eMac without streaming it.
You may find these latter procedures may help make the experience of watching videos on your eMac a better experience.

Trouble with streaming videos

Recently since the last patch i downloaded for quicktime, my internet browsers have been pretty messed up when trying to view streaming videos or anything flash like youtube videos and such.
at times, it works fine and then most of the time when i wanna see something it gives me the Q with a question mark, and i have no idea how to make it work.
please help.

You more or less answered your own question by stating the difference between your MB and your husbands. More RAM (memory) will improve the amount of video capability for your MacBook. Your model of MacBook uses shared memory for video and you really don't have enough to share for the streaming video that you're trying to watch. I would increase your RAM to the maximum of 2GB. The spinning sound that you here is probably your hard drive spinning and by increasing your RAM you will resolve this issue as well. -GDF

Streaming Video Progress Bar

I need to create a progress bar for my streaming video to let
the user know how much of the video has already been
downloaded/streamed. Making a progress bar for a progressive
download is easy, just check the bytesLoaded vs the bytesTotal. But
apparently with a streaming video those do not work. What exactly
do I need to check in order to create a progress bar for a
streaming video. Here is my sample code that doesn't work for the
progress bar.
