Ah there's a simple trick to that. You need mplayer. Then you find the address of the actual feed and check it plays in mplayer If it does (it should do) then add -dumpstream on the command line. You may also want to add -dumpfile FILETOSAVETO If you don't it will save it in a file with dump in the name (I forget the exact name). Be warned the BBC prevent streaming faster than you can watch so mplayer will take roughly the same amount of time as the clips length to download the file. As always for more info see: man mplayer I find this ironic: >Most computer tasks can be achieved by using completely free software, > reports BBC Click. Except of course watching the clip, or using the new BBC iPlayer!
