Copying RealPlayer files

Is there some way of burning a file you're watching through an internet link to a DVD?

I dismally failed to video a programme on Friday that a friend couldn't watch because he was working - it's on the BBC website but his PC is too old and basic to making watching it from there practical.

I was wondering if I could burn it to a DVD that I can send him?

Though no-one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending.

    If you can't save the file and only stream it then presumably the author of the material does not want it recorded to pc. There may be ways to circumvent it but they can't be discussed here.

    The BBC doesn't let you save radio programs so they most likely don't let you save video either.

    Can you give me the url of this program please? I didn't know we could "watch again" aswell as "listen again" (i.e. radio).

    It's one of the "Restoration Village" series reached from this page.
