How can I save the videos fount at http://www.mg.co.za/zanews/ ?
I've already tried Orbit, Flashgot & Video DownloadHelper Firefox add-ons - none of which managed to capture the streaming data.

I've actually tried that too, and it didn't work for me either.

Are we stuck?
Maybe MG.co.za must put it somewhere for download.

Please stop guessing applications... :)

If someone could manage to actually save it, I would really like to know the app's name then.

// here is our rtpm plugin configuration
rtmp: {
url: 'flowplayer.rtmp-3.1.0.swf',
live: false,
// netConnectionUrl defines where the streams are found
netConnectionUrl: 'rtmp://196.34.92.33:443/vod'

Thanks, but that didn't help much though...

I've managed to download the files using CooJah 6, Blader & Internet Explorer. I'm not sure how legal it is, since I saw Adobe asked SourceForge to retract RTMPDump.

I believe the reason they dont want people to rip or download off their site is so that they can keep a count on the number of views so that they can get sponsors so that they can bring us this great content. I know sometimes it is fustrating with low bandwidths.

If you like ZANews and want to support them. view from their website :)

Pada, when you installed Coojah 6, did you have any issues with the installer. I found the installer text was unreadable, likely some east-asian font. The program itself works great once one just clicks through the highlighted buttons in the installer. Had the same issue on a Windows XP Home and Pro machine. Just wondered if anyone else had issues in this regard?i
