NFL.com video

Here's how they do it on NFL.com.

First, there's a link that looks like this:

javascript:goMovie('http://images.nfl.com/video/homepage/2006/1110-1.ram');void(null);

That gives us a file named 1110-1.ram, the contents of which are:

http://ad.doubleclick.net/adx/videos.nfl.com/home;arena=nfl;arena=home;media=rm;prod=video;sz=240x180;ord=680828.ram<br> http://play.rbn.com/?url=nfl/nfl/open/nflfilms/demand/s2006/nfln-ta/w10/hollywood_fantasy_football_300k.rm

If you put the first part of this into the address bar in FFox, it opens in Windows Media Player, but won't play:

FFox thinks that file is an video/x-ms-asf Object, although what gets spit out is a a .ram file (l7g9ccdl.ram, which appears to a randomly generated filename).

The source is:

rtsp://a20.v219284.c21928.g.vr.akamaistream.net/ondemand/7/20/21928/v11081800/news.download.akamai.com/121/cbsnews/bumper/Burger_king/BK.rm

So that's the ad. The second part yields another randomly named .ram file (z2f0iwy4.ram), which contains the actual video:

rtsp:/<i>rx-wes-sea71.rbn.com/farm</i>*/nfl/nfl/open/nflfilms/demand/s2006/nfln-ta/w10/hollywood_fantasy_football_300k.rm<br> --stop--<br> pnm:/<i>rx-wes-sea71.rbn.com/farm</i>*/nfl/nfl/open/nflfilms/demand/s2006/nfln-ta/w10/hollywood_fantasy_football_300k.rm

It seems complicated but it's basically the same way it used to be on the site. It's a few steps to do something that could be one step (just a .ram file).
