Ok so I have a game pulled out through TubeDigger and it is broken up into literally 3512 .mp4 files. TubeDigger broke it up like this and I tried mkvmerge, but either I get an error doing it one way or I get a useless ~300mb file. I have tried FFSetup also and it wouldn't even attempt that many files. I am wondering if it is the software or if I need to do this in sections and then combine the sections?? avidemux had no easy way to select that qty of files and now I am looking ffmpeg, but before I get into that and the code I need to type out, I'd like to know if anyone knows of something better I haven't mentioned. I really thought mkvmerge was going to be able to do this, but it's not putting it in any order that makes sense and it won't even play the file once it finishes. TubeDigger could only pull this video using recording mode (enhanced and normal), download mode could not see the video while it was playing. They broke this up into more pieces than Netflix bothers to do... One thing I noticed in mkvmerge while trying to do this was that it showed I had 1 video file and 1 audio file for every part. Could this be part of the problem when trying to merge?? I thought this was going to be simple, I never thought it would go into 3512 parts. Give me some guidance please!!

Appreciate any help anyone can give.

eac3to will probably do it, but the syntax for it will require typing all 3512 file names in order. You could probably use an excel function to build the command string and copy and paste into the console, but I am not sure if there is a limit to the length of commands in the windows command line

What is the total size of all the files? Can you stick it in a shared Mega account or something? I could probably combine them with eac3to and a batch file with minimal effort.

Total size is 610MB

I think you are right that the issue is the order and these programs are failing to stitch them together correctly.

PM me and I definitely appreciate the offer you made.

I don't see any way I can get the files in the right order. The time stamps don't help because many of the files are less than a second long so I can't rely on ordering by date. Time stamps are only accurate to the second.

Alright well here is another option, either I find a software that is more precise on how it pulls the video chunks or I do the crappy record where you box the part of the screen with the game on it.

What are some example file names? Are they completely random?

Limpynuts, I'm uploading the files that were outputting through FF. Take a look and see if they are any different. Unlike the straight TubeDigger outputs, these files all have a length although they are all 1 second..

They are in your home folder in the FF Output folder.


Is there something else I can try that may be better than TubeDigger?

I'm letting GetFLV take a run at it, the files seem to be larger, I'll let you know what happens.

Does anyone have experience with GetFLV? BTW, NeuLion is what we are trying to get past and even the old method of the software selecting the video on screen and downloading isn't working.

However it looks like these files for the download mode will be much more useful than TubeDigger, but it won't let me do a download all, I'd have to download every file separate and yea... I'll take a look at it again later, but LimpyNuts, the FF Output is uploaded now.

Guys take a look at this:

He is trying to break the same thing and it seems like they were successful.

This is getting a little bit out of my knowledge range here, can anyone help on this?

This is our link: http://www.btn2go.com/video/north-carolina-state-at-ohio-state


For fucks sake they have made this waaaaaaaaaaay harder than vault.theacc.com or vault.ncaa.com both of which you can pull a game directly off in a in a single download.

Ok I'm going to do this the dumbass way and manually download a few thousand files, hopefully my mouse or keyboard don't break. I tested it on about 300 hundred files and they are much better than what TubeDigger is throwing out. If someone can figure out how to do it differently please say so. I'll do this tomorrow so I don't waste this much time if it is possible to do it differently.

our first link looks like this: http://ahlvod.neulion.com/s/fox/btn2go/vod/pc/2012/05/01/btn-09132003-2003ncosu_400.mp4/00/0000.mp4?nltid=btn2go&nltdt=0

400 breaks here

800 starts here:

800 breaks here:

3000 starts here:

it's going to take a while to get the last one


If you click some of those links they will play the game with no authorization or anything, so I think IDM will work.

manually looking this seems like the highest number:

http://ahlvod.neulion.com/s/fox/btn2go/vod/pc/2012/05/01/btn-09132003-2003ncosu_3000.mp4/00/5958.mp4?nltid=btn2go&nltdt=0

if you click that link though, it is nowhere near the end of the game


The String changes here

http://ahlvod.neulion.com/s/fox/btn2go/vod/pc/2012/05/01/btn-09132003-2003ncosu_3000.mp4/01/0001.mp4?nltid=btn2go&nltdt=0


I believe the last string is:

http://ahlvod.neulion.com/s/fox/btn2go/vod/pc/2012/05/01/btn-09132003-2003ncosu_3000.mp4/01/5638.mp4?nltid=btn2go&nltdt=0

however I'm going to keep trying

I've got this shit now! IDM is fucking awesome and it pulls the files in order automatically based on the website's numbering. I'm about half way through getting them and stitching should be no problem with them already in order. I'll let you know LimpyNuts and A Tanzarian if this goes as smoothly as it has so far using the links I found above with TubeDigger and putting them into IDM using the method from the NFL forum I linked to and quoted. State fans may soon have the 2003 OSU Triple OT game again. Last time it was available was when accvideos.com was still live.


Edit: BTW, avg file size is 100kb now and I am guessing there is only going to be about 1000 files instead of over 3000.

If I have to use that I will, but I believe MKVMerge is going to have no problem with these now.

The thing about using IDM is it had to go through thousands of possible links that didn't exist to get the ones that did (23,799 links to be exact). Now it is going through all those files (they are all qued as files) and deleting empty ones and downloading actual ones. I could manually remove the fakes, but I have to run and I figure when I get back tonight it should be done filtering/downloading. Then I will stitch it.
