Dear Sir/Madam,

Sorry if I am sending this to an inappropriate newsgroup, in which case
please direct me to an appropriate resource.

I emailed ShareX and Video-DownloadHelper persons like shown below. So far
I got an answer only from a Video-DownloadHelper person.

I also considered contacting yt-dlp persons but GitHub shows an open issue about these unsupported websites in question since years ago. An example
error message . . .

So I found webpages about recording BrightCove videos. Are they
trustworthy?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. All I can say is that we are working on a new approach for downloads that might impact a lot of sites. But it will still take
weeks.

Alas ShareX and Video DownloadHelper and yt-dlp fail to save videos from  those websites

How can RTÉ-Player videos and TG4 videos be archived well?

Many programs are not able to archive videos from 
HTTPS://WWW.RTE.Ie/player
and
HTTPS://WWW.TG4.Ie/ga/player/catagoir/nuacht

Such ineffective programs include PrtSc (  HTTPS://WWW.Microsoft.com/en-us/windows/learning-center/how-to-screenshot-windows-11 
); Snipping Tool ( 
HTTPS://WWW.Microsoft.com/en-us/windows/tips/snipping-tool
); ShareX ( 
HTTPS://getShareX.org
); Video DownloadHelper ( 
HTTPS://WWW.DownloadHelper.net
); and yt-dlp ( 
HTTPS://GitHub.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
).

(However ShareX does record subtitles and audio. E.g.  HTTP://Gloucester.Insomnia247.NL/Seamus_o_Ceallachain/Seamus_o_Ceallachain_ag_caint_faoi_dhunmharu_amhain_ar_an_16-02-2025.mp4 
from  HTTPS://WWW.TG4.Ie/ga/player/catagoir/nuacht/seinn/?pid=6368933861112&title=Nuacht%20TG4&series=Nuacht%20TG4&genre=Cursai%20Reatha&pcode=730945 
from  HTTPS://WWW.TG4.Ie/ga/player/catagoir/nuacht/?series=Nuacht%20TG4&genre=Cursai%20Reatha
)

(These programs do not fail to record
HTTPS://WWW.RTE.Ie/news
)

I made an inefficient recording from  HTTPS://WWW.RTE.Ie/player/series/rt%C3%A9-news-nine-o-clock/SI0000001468?epguid=IH10008756-25-0046 
using a different program, but do you have notions of better alternatives?  Such an inefficient recording is at  HTTP://Gloucester.Insomnia247.NL/Gillian_Toole/police_arresting_6_alleged_torturers_Good_night_and_take_care__20250216_105532.webm

(That RTÉ webpage expired afterwards, so you can test a different news  report hyperlined to from
HTTPS://WWW.RTE.Ie/player/all-programmes/latest 
or  HTTPS://WWW.TG4.Ie/ga/player/catagoir/nuacht/?series=Nuacht%20TG4&genre=Cursai%20Reatha
)

Thanks!

Is mise le meas,
