How do I record a video stream (e.g. CNN news clip) for viewing later offline? I have XP Pro Media Edition, but no antenna/decoder feed, so I'm looking to record from the net. Is there a free recorder? Which is the best in any case?
Many thanks.

Thats part of the DRM suite of controls. You can only watch it when they allow you to.

That being said, What you are looking for is called a stream ripper. They intercept the stream and spool it to a file that can be played later.

Haven't looked at that in a long time so no other info off the top of my head.

This kind of softwares called streaming video recorder/ripper, if you query the words in Google, you will get one. In my impression, a good one can enable you to record streaming video from websites autmatically, that is to get the real url of video and record from it, in that way there will come to many successful results.
