The basic method to download the videos is to find the stream URL and then dump the stream to a file.
The first step is to find the hash of the video you want. This is what the server uses to identify the file.
Italicised text in the code blocks needs to be changed.
Code:
metadata.f1.services.nativ-systems.com/assets.xml?cachebuster=[i]random number[/i]
Replace
random number with a fist to the num pad. This is only to prevent the file being pulled from a cache either on your computer or from somewhere between you and the server.
Open the resulting URL in your browser. The XML lists all the videos available grouped by race. Find the race you want. Under that race node extend the assets node. This contains Onboard and Race Edit as defined by the category attribute. Under the asset node is the list of videos of that category for that race. Copy the infohash of the video you want.
The second step is to find the closest Velocix node to you.
Code:
flash.velocix.com/bt/[i]hash[/i]/flash?format=xml2&protocol=rtmp
Replace
hash with the infohash of the video you want. Open the resulting URL in your browser.
The file that your browser will try to open is XML, but because the content-type isn't set to text/xml you may be prompted to download it. Open it with your browser or anything else that will show XML.
There will be a single streamname node and a list of rtmpurl nodes. You will need both for the next step so keep this open.
Next is to create the RTMP URL. This just consists of sticking together a rtmpurl and streamname.
Code:
[rtmpurl]/mp4:[streamname]
You can use the RTMP URL with any program that can play RTMP streams (VLC, Moyea Web Player).
The best way I've found is to dump the whole stream to a flash video file and do any converting I needed afterwards.
Grab flvstreamer for your OS from
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/flvstreamer then execute the following command, replacing
stream url with the RTMP URL from the previous step and
filename with whatever you want the stream saved as.
Code:
flvstreamer -r [i]stream url[/i] -o [i]filename[/i].flv
