help downloading pmq's

Post by luke »

i was wondering if anyone could work out a way of downloading the wmv video files from the pmq's website - i'm sure i did it once but can't figure out how now

https://www.number-10.gov.uk/output/page306.asp

i'd like to download from around march 2003 to the present day ... quite a mission, it seems the address has changed over time as well

mms://wm.vitalstreamcdn.com/twofour_vitalstream_com/cabinet_office/no10_pmqs/pmq2003-03-19.wmv
mms://wm.vitalstreamcdn.com/twofour_vitalstream_com/cabinet_office/no10_pmqs/pmq2004-12-15.wmv
mms://wm.vitalstreamcdn.com/twofour_vitalstream_com/cabinet_office/no10_pmqs/pmq2005-12-14.wmv
mms://a90.m.akastream.net/7/90/21547/v001/video.twofour.co.uk/cabinet_office/no10_pmqs/pmq2007_06_20.wmv

the play file is https://video.twofour.co.uk/play/video.asp which i'm sure is the server that i managed to download the actual wmv file from once

i wanna try and make a tony blair legacy video, with the bits of him paying tribute to the dead troops every week like he does ( so it may start later than march 2003 - i'm not sure when the first british troop died ) and play abigail meads leonard track from full metal jacket over the top - so hopefully all the names will fit into 5.56, should do cos it'll just be the names

if anyone can help, nice one :) if not i'll just stream them and do that save thing as it plays

Get StreamDown and then just copy the mms urls into it - it will then save them to whereever you choose

thanks faceless, think i'll have to do it that way - was hoping to direct save as i think its quicker than this streaming save, but this is going to take ages anyway so whats a bit extra :)

edit : this seems to be going pretty fast, nice one faceless :)

yeah, mms usually goes fast - rtsp can be throttled to only give the user as much as they need for the stream. Maybe they can do that with mms as well though, I'm not sure.
