    How do you download video from RTE's website? I want to save last nights Prime time onto my HD but it's a streaming Realplayer video. Is there any way of saving the file for playback later?

    It's quite easy, download the .smil file on RTE's website to your HD then open it in notepad look for a string like below as an example.

    rtsp://streaming2.rte.ie/2006/0522/primetimeinvestigates-121658-230.rm

    That is the real location of the Real video file copy and paste into a download manager like Flashget or something else and it will save it to the hard drive.

    Give VideoDownloader for Firefox a try, I havent used it yet but it might work for you.

    It's excellent. (i haven't used it on the RTE site though. Works perfectly for saving streamed content from youtube though)

    You'll need the flv player to view the downloaded files
