View Full Version : Download Iplayer Video
I've searched the 'sticky' and not found anything. Anyone know of a plug-in to allow download/save of a BBC Iplayer video? Win XP IE6+Firefox

No idea, to be honest, I just stream them off the bbc site, although my pc is hooked up to the big telly, so it's no hardship on my part to do so. Tea, crumpets, sofa, iplayer stream etc.:p

Are you looking to take a downloaded Iplayer video and watch it outside of IPlayer?
If so you can download it in the latest version and then rip the DRM protection off to watch at your leisure either elsewhere or without a time limit.
If that's what you want to do I can post the steps necessary to do it.

I travel quite a bit outside the country so if you could post some steps Andy that would be great

Likewise, Andy - possibly better by PM than 'public' - it may be a bit of a 'sensitive' issue for Saab D?
I have a URL from the BBC 'Archives' in the form http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/etcetc.shtml which will not transfer into Iplayer for download.
