Getting audio and video in one file

[josephj]

I've been using the latest Flashgot with the latest Firefox on Linux (currently Kubuntu 14.04 with KDE 4.14.12) for years - very happily. It's connected to DownThemAll to do the actual downloading.

For the past few months, I have been encountering quite a few streams where I can get the audio or the video, but not both together in one file. Sometimes there is a combined file, but it's buried in among many others.

Here's the one I just got stuck on. I have the audio and the video as separate files, but don't know how to get them combined or combine them after the fact without learning a movie editing program.

Any ideas on what's going on and how to deal with it would be appreciated.

These streams play fine in the browser itself.

[Edit]
I just clicked on the View on Youtube button in the player and was able to find versions to download that have both audio and video combined, but I still want to understand what's going on and why I had to do that.

The site is choosing to split the content over the two streams. Maybe they get performance/caching benefits, or maybe they want to make it harder for people to rip them. Presumably the browser JavaScript/plugin is combining them for you.
