    I would like to extract a portion of a video that is available on TV3's 3player.
    It uses Flowplayer and appears to use mp4 video files.

    How do I do this?
    I tried to wget the mp4 file directly but it returned the video html page.

    Screen recording software such as CamStudio should do it. As the video stream is encrypted more than likely discussion how to break this encryption isn't allowed

    Is it definitely encrypted or is that a guess? (I am not being smart)

    I can give CamStudio a go.

    Most television video streams are encrypted, using Adobe or Microsoft services I think. If a download fails when you put it in your download manager it sounds as though the video didn't send the correct handshake request to start receiving data. Your best bet is to go the recording screen route,
