It is sometimes useful to have a direct URL for a recording in the BATC archive - for the purposes of this example, I'm going to find the URL for the recording of the University of Southampton Cubesat Presentation at the AMSAT-UK Colloquim 2014.
Remember that you have do have to click the "Select ..." buttons after selecting the relevant entry in each dropdown menu.
Step 2: View the HTML source of the page
In chrome or firefox, right-click and 'View Page Source'. Or press Ctrl+U.
Step 3: Find the integer 'value' for the Recording you want
You are looking for lots of options, with numbers for values, one of which you have selected in the browser, eg.
<option value="1342" >AMSAT 2014 01 vrspace</option> <option value="1343" >AMSAT 2014 02 FUNcube</option> <option value="1344" >AMSAT 2014 03 LithuaniaSat</option> <option value="1349" selected="selected" >AMSAT 2014 04 SouthamptonCubeSat</option> <option value="1346" >AMSAT 2014 05 ARRL</option> <option value="1360" >AMSAT 2014 06 ISEE</option> <option value="1356" >AMSAT 2014 07 EARS</option>
...
It can be seen above that the stream id that we want is: 1349
Step 4: Create the video url with the stream id
The stream id from the previous step should be appended on to http://www.batc.tv/channel.php?id=
So in this example, the resulting URL/link is: http://www.batc.tv/channel.php?id=1349
