Can anyone tell me how to capture the (first) video from

? I have Windows 7-32, latest Chrome with DownloadHelper, and ancient
Firefox (27.0.1) with the same.

Applian's Replay Media Catcher (RMC) captured the video; however, I had
to allow some script sources that were blocked by uMatrix. Plus I had
to stop and start the video a couple times before RMC's proxy could
detect the source of the media stream, which was:

https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video...u/pl/640x360/P
tKrC_K8Q37uOchZ.m3u8

But downloading the file using that URL (or adding /Twitter.mp4 which
was the name of the stream) won't get you the video to play locally.
You have to capture the stream as it is delivered.

[VERY comprehensive reply snipped.]
Life's too short; it was only an "I'd like" (including for some blind
friends) thought. Sorry to say this after you've clearly put a lot of
effort into your response; I _have_ marked your post as "keep" (I have a
3-day expiry on most newsgroups).

[Unless you can email me the capture (-:, but it really isn't important]
