Download from Blip.tv gives audio only

So a few days ago I wanted to download all of the BW Day9 dailies as I had never actually taken the time to watch them. I have tried using the video download manager extension in firefox and the built-in IDM (internet download manager) pop-up but in many cases I download a .flv file that only has audio. I think this may possibly occur because Day9 always starts with audio-only (due to problems with going live too early) and hence maybe the program gets confused. For example when I try to download the following links, they are audio only:


http://blip.tv/file/3496145 D9D #1, Flash vs by.hero
http://blip.tv/file/3498022 D9D #2, fOrGG vs Stork

There is definitely video as whenever I try to play them in the browser, they work fine. But I am unable to download the video part, which is a major deal for me since I need to use a proxy to access blip.tv in the first place (blocked in China, what the fuck) so letting the video buffer for long periods of time is impractical.

Any help would be appreciated.

How big are the files? If 150-300MB, then you may just be missing the codec. Google K-Lite.

Flash vs Hero is 28:47 and 91 MB, with 64 kbps /44100 Hz sampling rate MP3 audio.
Stork vs fOrGG is 1:00:53 and 193 MB, with 64 kbps/ MP3 audio just as above.

I have CCCP installed so I don't think it's a codec problem, plus I think the file sizes are about reasonable. For example Flash vs FBH is 1:20:05 with video and is 333MB, while Free vs Hiya is 53:20 with video and is 600 MB.

I don't even know how you downloaded this, as I can't find the option anywhere (I know there used to be a way to download the blip clips without 3rd party tools). However for now I just had to download it via DownloadHelper addon.

Now, the File for #1 is 91MB large, just as yours, a flash video (.flv) - unlike more recent episodes which are mp4s.
The video plays fine.

What I think your problem is: The video actually is blank the first 10 or so seconds while he is already talking. That's just the way the video is. Try watching past the first few seconds and your problem is gone :D

O_o you are right, I tried opening this with another program (Irfanview) and it ended up working! Now I just need to figure out why MPC-HC refuses to open ><

It doesn't play the video in MPC-HC for me either (using ffdshow tryouts). Weird, as it actually is supposed to know/play VP6 material. Maybe it has something to do with the strange frame rate (23.709 fps?).

Anyway, please do ME a favor and do not use the piece of shit called VLC (even though it does play quite a few video formats).
MPC-HC is fine imho. I use the (DAUM) PotPlayer though which is the successor to the KMP and pretty much the best player in every aspect other than maybe streaming.
