need to download video behind login screen

[joejohn]

There are several videos on a website that I want to download.
when I go to the video and check page source, it says the video is located at rtmp://blah blah / blah.mp4
What is the least painful way of downloading the video?

Things I have tried
I got rtmpdump and rtmpdumphelper. But I had some problems.
if I choose rtmusuck in the options menu of rtmpdumphelper, download never starts. The command prompt says "RTMP_readpacket, failed to read RTMP packet header"
If I choose rtmpsrv.exe, then the download does start, but it gets stuck at a certain percentage, the percentage is consistent for each video. for one video, it always gets stuck at 27%, for another video, it always get stuck at 58.5%

Any ideas?

If these as 'rentals', it is against forum rules to discuss ways to download them.

Is this jimdagys hiding under a new name?

Anyway, the easiest way to do this is to buy something like Replay Video Catcher and use it to record the video in realtime. Not free though.

If you have access to a Mac there may be methods of accessing the file as it streams and saving it if you use Safari, but the old method of doing this no longer works in OS X Mavericks and the new method is badly described in a document I looked at. So right now I'm not sure how to do it as it hasn't been a big enough deal to me at present to invest the time necessary to look into it.

ok, I have edited my post so it does not violate forum rules.

Yes, that is correct.

Is that an admission ?
