This paper makes comprehensive specification of the RTMP (Real Time Message Protocol) in Adobe's Flash streaming media system, and introduces the implementation of software that can download RTMP-based streaming media. The software follows the RTMP specification, implements the connection with the server using Socket API in C language, processes multimedia data coming from server and saves it as a FLV (Flash Video) format file. The method mentioned in the structure of the software, can be used as the basis for the development of a more complete RTMP-based streaming media processing software.
