Please help me to download this BBC News video

[whenthedanceisthrough]

Hello,

I've spent many hours today trying to download the first video on the following website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-11627746

I have not had any luck and I am at my wits end, honestly!

I have tried the following things:

• RTMPExplorer, StreamingStar Video Downloader, WM Browser, StreamTransport - The video did not even load in any of these applications' internal browsers, giving error "script access is denied".
• WM Recorder attached to Opera browser - The video was marked for capture, but the capture URL was clearly wrong (URL contained spaces, no TLD, etc)
• HiDownloadPlatinum - The software totally crashes whenever I try to capture the video
• Looking at the "view source" - But I could not find any reference to an XML file or a playlist element like many sites said I should find
• Various "video downloader" plugins - None of which could detect this video

I found on another site that if I take the unique programme code (gotten by rightclicking on the video while playing) then I can create a URL to an XML: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/4...tream/p00bt1tq

This seems to point to a valid XML, but I have no way to know how to translate the contents into a link I can use, or to even know if this is really pointing to the correct video.

It's just a 1m53s video which I am trying to download.

Please can someone help me by suggesting an approach or providing a link/commandline which I can run to obtain this video?

Thanks,
Adam

Has something changed at the BBC and can someone give me the new link please?

Anybody know how to find the video download from this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/4...tream/p02kc4nz
