Yeah I understand that. I have noticed in recent month that some devices have stopped working with download applications that have been around for a while and were working fine. What I found on Fox News that they switched some videos, mostly the ones from shows on the channel, to a newer format that is harder to download. It is called the Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming and all the files end with a .f4f. But I am not able to detect is Sun News is using that format. Don’t seem like it because it seems to be a flash video format.
You’re more advanced than I am in this area. I only know that RealPlayer attempts to keep up with these changes, and not always succeeds, and that its plug-in keeps crashing in Chrome after it hangs it for a minute or so when you load some pages, not even attempting to capture anything. I haven’t used any others capturers, though I’ve probably downloaded some at one point or another.
