Impossible to download video?

[lordsmurf]

Is anybody able to download the 720p or 1080p version of this?

I can get the low quality 360p version (not just lower res, but full of artifacts as well). But nothing better.

I'm stumped. Hmm...

Internet Download Manager got 480p.

Firefox as able to download 480p too.

youtube-dl gets 1080p

[jagabo]

I get "HTTP Error 403: Forbidden" from youtube-dl.

I only grabbed the first couple of minutes. It is very slow for me.

If lordsmurf needs the whole thing I'll get it latter and upload it somewhere.

Maybe this:

I got the link via View Page Source in FireFox.

<Edit>

Yes, that got the full 1080p, 409 MB video. Video only.

I grabbed the file, and was excited to see it finally complete ... but then realized it's not a media file. I had a 409mb file that doesn't open in anything. I've never seen an M4S file, and it appears to be some sort of segmented streaming file. After upgrading VLC, I get video and no audio. There are no audio tracks in the file, supposedly. VLC seems to crash trying to convert it to another format, so cannot merge this HD video with the 360p audio. Hmm...

youtube-dl gets 1080p

I tried youtube-dl, but got nowhere.

Yes, I'd very much appreciate an assist in grabbing this.

For those that may wonder what this is...
Transformers are still a thriving toy line. Hasbro/Takara makes the official "Transformers", but third-party companies (3P) in China make transforming robots that resemble Transformers characters. It's a legal gray area, for reasons that would make this post a TL;DR novel. Those bots have unique transformations and appearances, often better made than the official offerings. Many times, no official offering exists. Zeta is a 3P, and had advertised this bot (Unicron, from the 1986 Transformers the Movie) all over the web this past summer. For reason too complex to get into, the ad for this toy was scrubbed from the net (Facebook, Youtube, etc). It just reappeared on this Chinese site, and I want to grab a copy. It's currently unknown if the toy will actually be produced. But with that video, 3D printers (the people, not machine) could mimic it. TF also has a thriving community of DIY builders that use 3D printers to make bot parts, upgrades, and even whole bots.

It's a segmented mp4 file. Rename it mp4 and most players will play it though some don't seek properly. You can remux it to a more traditional non-segmented mp4 file with:

ffmpeg -i input.m4s -c copy output.mp4

You can see the difference in mp4 structure here:

And yes, it's only video. I'm sure you can find the audio yourself.

There's also an HEVC 1080p version:

Odd that others are having trouble with youtube-dl while it works fine for me.

I have a question about the above link. I see that the file is stored on the Videohelp server. It downloads and plays perfectly. However, similar sized files that are stored on Mega.nz, when I try to download them, they will download to 99%, and then stay at 99% for about 5-10 minutes before the file is finally completely downloaded. There seems to be something going on during that final 5-10 minutes, but there is no explanation given. Sometimes I have given up on the download because I thought there was a problem. Does anybody know what is going on, and why is there such difference between downloading from Videohelp and mega.nz?

Mega files are encrypted and then decrypted after it is downloaded, the delay is the decryption.

jagabo, zing269, thank you.

Almost forgot to follow up to the thread. Buried in a sea of tabs, just came across it again.

Now if only they would release the Core Star figure...
