|Hi.
|
|My network connection is too slow to smoothly play the videos from
|www.apple.com/trailers. So, i'm trying to get them on disk
|for playback.
|
|Now, mplayerplug-in can play them allright, i can look into the
|source for the webpage and feed mplayer the movie, and it seems
|that the file the page links to is just a 'reference file' which redirects
|MPlayer to the real stream. This also works nicely.
|
|Now, i've been unable to get that stream. MPlayer identifies several
|'channels' in that MOV stream, if i open it with  -vid 0 -aid 1 it plays
|correctly, but i still can't get it to dump to disk! all i can get is this
|'reference file' which, curiously, exits with a 'file not found' error
|when i try to use it. I've tried:
|
|mplayer -dumpstream <URL>

|
|
|
|mplayer -dumpvideo <URL> <-- this works, but the raw video is kinda 
useless...
|
|-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|mplayer -dumpvideo -dumpaudio .. <-- works but i'm not even gonna say 
anything
|about the dumpfile.
|
|------------------------------------
|
|
|Is there any other way to use dumpstream that i'm missing?
|
|Thanks for any useful advice/help
