MTV Overdrive is a free Broadband Video Channel brought to you by MTV.com. Like many others, you can not download any video. View this guide to bypass this limit.
I spent a lot of hours trying to figure out how to download vids from here and i finally found a way.
What we need
FlashGet (or any other Download manager)
Firefox to open up jhtml files and the page
WMP
-First go to Overdrive.
-Find the video you want.You can watch it until the end or pause it.But
you must let it play for aboun 5".For this guide, i selected the
"Snakes in a plane".
-No go to our Temporary Internet Files Folder, should be something like this C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files.
With
right click, sort by internet address and go down till you see somethin
like a media player file with the name
"http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/xml/asx/asxgen.jhtml?vid=42963" or
"asxgen.jhtml?vid=42963".
-Right click one of the asxgen files, select properties and copy the link thats highlighted
-Now open WMP and from menu select file -> open ulr and paste
the url.Let it play the video and stop it.Now open flashget (or your
D/L manager) and select a new download and paste -again- the url.When
it finish (you see a file that reads asxgen.jhtml in the directory you
saved the file )open the file you just saved with wordpad. You see
something that says ASX VERSION="3.0". Scroll down untill you find the line that reads <ENTRY><REF xhref="mms://.
The link is a mms link. Now copy the entire link, and not only the
video part from link because it wont work like that ,you need the
"auth" also.
-Now paste the link in ure download manager and you will have a pretty good quality video in a couple minutes.
