As you may be aware BBC iplayer is a fantastic way to catch up on programmes that have already been shown on any of the BBC channels. However, the video files will disappear from the player days after you first watch it. In short they are DRM files and it doesn’t allow you to save the files.
I may often like a program but be unable to watch it for a long time and by the time I get around to it, it may no longer be available to watch. I was thus looking for a solution to download the files and keep it for as long as I want and I came across this great solution. Its called as ipdl.exe and according to a video on youtube comes from Paul Battley from www.po-ru.com. So all credits to him.
All you got to do is download 
Now copy the address as seen in the URL bar:
and paste it in the ipdl program ID box and click download. It then asks you where to save the video and gives it the default name of the programme. Once thats done, you are on..it downloads it..and its fast.
The file is saved as a quicktime (.MOV) file which you may then view with Quicktime or another media player such as VLC video player.
Fantastic, works like a dream !!Thanks Paul Battley .
