Thank you for the hints and tips. I used the Windows-basd PVR
Using the tips from Vangelis forthnet <[email protected]> here is what I have found: 1/ go to the web page for the clip, e.g.: http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/gay_rights/12028.shtml 2/ Viewsource then Find "xml" to locate the string: emp.setPlaylist("http://"+location.host+"/archive/xml/12/028.xml"); 3/ the URL required is then http://www.bbc.co.uk//archive/xml/12/028.xml 4/ Copy and paste this into Quick URL field 5/ Click Record The result was a file in iPlayer Recordings as: 10_OClock_news_-_Gays_Couples_Given_Similar_Rights_as_Married_Couples_http_www.bbc.co.uk_archive_xml_12_028.xml_default.AVI The file wasn't that large.
