The official statement by the Ichud Office (or actually the office that the outsourced the video hookup feed to) in regards to distributing the video of the Asifa was:
That being said, few people know the video is (as of this posting) available online, courtesy of the Ichud. It is a copy of the video feed that was shown to the “satellite” locations.
The video (for now) can be accessed at http://www.studiosevent.com/newscenter/?id=poshny_tagddcf5
Skip to 55 minutes in to the video when the event started.
May 23, 2012 8:40 pm at 8:40 pm #876232mikehall12382Memberso you are posting a link to an online video, talking about how bad the internet is….am I the only one who finds this funny?
May 23, 2012 8:47 pm at 8:47 pm #876233☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI’m sure plenty of people find it funny. They also miss the point.
This feed was not supposed to be available for the public, it was used to send the video to the remote locations where the asifa was viewed.
The point of the asifa was to stress that having web access is not recommended wherever possible to avoid (and that unfiltered access is unacceptable under all circumstances).
Making the recording easier to access through the web (intentionally) would have been somewhat hypocritical, but using the internet to send the feed to remote locations is not.
May 23, 2012 8:59 pm at 8:59 pm #876234hershiMemberIs it possible to download the video feed from the above site and save it to your computer?
Anyone, please?
May 23, 2012 8:59 pm at 8:59 pm #876235Just SmileParticipantWas that really the point of the asifa – the two lines being thrown around was “We can’t live with it, we can’t live without out it.” and “Using technology responsibly Al Pi Torah”. How is sending out the link irresponsible use of technology Al Pi Torah?
May 23, 2012 9:15 pm at 9:15 pm #876236cherrybimParticipantWhy do you say that it would be hypocritical? Is it assur to see/hear Torah via the Internet? Certainly not!
May 23, 2012 10:39 pm at 10:39 pm #876237EzratHashemMemberThe audio on the every recording I’ve heard/seen is very hard to understand. I still don’t have a clear idea of what was said at the asifa. Won’t someone post a transcript/translation of all of the speeches? I heard that some Rabbaim said to ban internet, some said no,only a filter, is this even correct? Very confusing outcome.

May 24, 2012 1:46 am at 1:46 am #876239hershiMemberJust Smile: Thanks a bunch, that was very helpful. Did you copy that off the link in your OP? How did you manage to save it?
Thanks again
P.S. I thought YT had a time limit for videos. How’d you get past that?
May 24, 2012 3:10 am at 3:10 am #876240Just SmileParticipanthershi –
no need to ask so many questions 😉
I did get it from the original link.
YouTube has a fifteen minute time limit unless you verify your account. Then it’s a 10 hour time limit.
May 24, 2012 4:09 am at 4:09 am #876241hershiMemberThanks again, JS. I was trying to save a copy for myself. I presume saving it from YT will be a lower quality than if done from the original. If it is complicated to describe how to do from the original, that’s okay. I appreciate your help.
May 24, 2012 4:24 am at 4:24 am #876242dash™ParticipantI did – here you go
How did you manage that? I’ve been searching for a tool that reliably extracts Silverlight videos.
May 24, 2012 4:37 am at 4:37 am #876243☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantCherrybim,
Why do you say that it would be hypocritical? Is it assur to see/hear Torah via the Internet? Certainly not!
I assume you’re addressing me.
Note that I said “somewhat” hypocritical. You are correct, that it’s not inherently assur to access the web for purposes of Torah. The issue here seems primarily to be that the yetzer horah to access inappropriate material is so strong, that the poskim feel that unfiltered web access is completely assur, and even filtered is only acceptable if necessary.
There is a quandary as to whether or not Torah based sites are worthwhile. The upside is quite obvious. The downside is much more subtle, but quite compelling as well.
Since even filtered web access is not recommended (for obvious reasons – filters are far from perfect or impenetrable), there’s a disadvantage to these types of sites’ availability, since their existence encourages, to some degree, web access.
By not (intentionally) making it easier for someone with web access to obtain a recording of the event, the organizers are being mechazek those who have made the commendable decision to keep away from all web access.
May 24, 2012 4:44 am at 4:44 am #876244AZOI.ISParticipantAMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!
In a million years Id never have believed Id be so overcome with emotion the entire time I watched it, watching some parts over and over! (I cried like a baby at times).
Whoever made it available, be gebentched!!!!!
May 24, 2012 4:45 am at 4:45 am #876245Sam2ParticipantJust Smile: Thank you very much. I had been wanting to hear what R’ Matisyahu Salomon had said. I was shocked when they said the Seder Slichos at the very end though.
May 24, 2012 5:13 am at 5:13 am #876246Eli MansourParticipantDash-
Your need a screen recorder Program to capture the video.
May 24, 2012 7:35 am at 7:35 am #876247Aishes ChayilParticipant‘You are correct, that it’s not inherently assur to access the web for purposes of Torah.’
somehow the feeling I got was that filters were a secondary solution.
The REAL MESSAGE was ‘get rid of the internet period'(maybe not for pple who need it for parnosoh)
Am I the only here who was reading between the lines, or did others get the same feeling?
If thats the case, how do you square that with the above quote made by DASS YOCHID,?
May 24, 2012 12:18 pm at 12:18 pm #876248HockandahalfMemberThis seems to be the magazine that was supposed to have been given out at the asifa

May 24, 2012 1:05 pm at 1:05 pm #876249Just SmileParticipanthershi, dash and Ygrazi – I used a screen recorder (Windows Media Encoder) and left it running overnight – you can even see my mouse on the right side of the screen.
I do have a higher res version then what I uploaded to YouTube (this version was 5.x GB) – I may upload it to a webserver. If I do I’ll let you know
May 24, 2012 1:56 pm at 1:56 pm #876250☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAishes Chayil,
I said “inherently”.
May 24, 2012 2:15 pm at 2:15 pm #876251Just SmileParticipantHockandahalf – Despite the words FINAL in the title – that isn’t the final version of the book that wasn’t given out.
A later version (although I’m nervous to say final) can be found at http://goo.gl/dkkDT
The last few pages have some big changes
