Can I download more than just the commercial on "thewb.com"?

Asked by valdasta (2146points) June 22nd, 2010

I wanted to download a full episode of a TV program on “thewb.com” site with Real Player. The only thing it allows me to download is the openning commercial. Is it protected or am I not doing something right?

I like to download all videos before I watch them because my internet is too slow.

The website is similar to video steaming sites such as Hulu. The videos are encoded in flash and are protected from most video/flash downloaders. You could try and apply this Hulu downloading guide to the wb website and see if it works. Most likely, that exploit has already been patched.

If you’re on a slow connection, you’re best bet is to wait a few minutes for the video to load far enough on the website so it plays smoothly.
