Launch your web browser and visit to view the video that you want to download. Then download RTMPDump and extract all the files to the folder where RTMPDumpHelper resides and run RTMPDumpHelper.exe. To use RTMPDumpHelper, you’ll need to download and extract it to a new folder. Thanks to Nir Sopher (again), he has created a very easy to use helper tool for RTMPDump called RTMPDumpHelper where it detects if the RTMP connection using the TCP port 1935 is being initiated on your web browser and then redirects it to 127.0.0.1 for the RTMPDump to capture the video stream and also displaying it on your web browser for real-time viewing. It doesn’t have a simple user interface where basic computer users can just insert a link and clicking a few buttons to start capturing the video stream.

If you are not connected to the Internet from the US, accessing will display a popup message saying “Sorry, currently our video library can only be watched from within the United States” and when you try to watch any videos, it will show “We’re sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed within the United States”. Basically Hulu is a website that allows Americans to watch free TV episodes and movies by streaming it to their computer, media players and mobile devices. If you are not from the US, you may not know what is Hulu or probably just heard about it.
