I don't know if an iPhone can play it, but I know that quicktime supports it. Even my lesser phones seem to be able to handle mp4 so I'd assume an Iphone can handle it too. You can use ffmpeg to do it, or configure mencoder. Yes, convert to mp4. I don’t know if an iPhone can play it, but I know that quicktime supports it.

Any suggestions there? This seems to work really well– the one difficulty I’m having is outputing these to a format I can put on my iPhone through iTunes. Any suggestions there?

I think I was probably trying to convert the mencoder video to a better conditioned avi file. I don't think it makes a difference, which is why I didn't bother including it.

What is the purpose of the ffmpeg step I see in the comments? (ffmpeg -i output.avi -ar 44100 -vcodec copy -acodec mp2 output2.avi) Are you trying to shrink the file size? If so, what are the tradeoffs as far as quality? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm not very familiar with audio/video formats and codecs.

For the record, the links to my knowledge are not static. Last I checked, they no longer work at the end of the quarter. Nope, I can’t repost links, since it’s against SCPD policy.

As you have pointed out, the SCPD video has now been protected by certain hash method. I wondered if the links are still static. If it's so, is it possible that you could phase the links for some courses for me? I really want to watch some of these video, and I'm not intending to get the credits. Thank you very much! <blockquote cite="#commentbody-336"> <strong><a href="#comment-336" rel="nofollow">Jon</a> :</strong> I just tried downloading a video and it seems to work perfectly fine. Typically I just use the python script I’ve posted above. I also generally download using linux, but I’ve tested it on windows periodically. Check to make sure your URL’s are correct. I haven’t tried silverlight videos, but the wmv’s should work fine. When I get some time later today, I may post a greasy script that grabs URL’s in case Stanford students feel like archiving links to download later. </blockquote> Hi Jon,
