I'd like to save a copy of Galloway's Senate testimony, the 47 minute one and the highlights, you can get them from the link below. Is it possible ?

There are some free ones on here that can record, if it's Real Media then just look for one that can do it on http.

BBC stuff is rtsp://
I've successfully grabbed the highlights, and just started on the full one (had other priorities ). It's gonna be somewhere North of 80MB though, so I dunno what's going to be a convenient transfer mechanism. Maybe somebody with lots of server space can donate some space for me to upload it to?

Thx guys. Got it sorted.

Went to FWD's link page, downloaded WM/RM Recorder from their site Here .

It's a free trial for 2 minutes and costs $ 50 to register for the full version.

Easy to setup and use, downloaded both clips. Jobs a goodun.

This program does Real Media and Windows Media.

Amusing to think that 20 years ago you'd have done this easily in one step with a VHS recorder

mmm this could be useful as we use a lot of these clips in school for the kids - are the bbc clips copyrighted?
