iPlayer Grabber
Nov 3 2009

NOOKSTERM  Just tried this for the first time, and the current update is working great at time of posting.

The biggest irony is that it's better than the AIR based BBC iPlayer, but not in the DRM -stripping way you might think;

The iPlayer application prioritises it's streaming video way above the downloads, in short, this means that your hour long program can takes hours to download. However, this app gets it's files directly via the Stream, which basically means you can get it as fast as your DSL will let you.

In short, even if you don't have issues with DRM, this little program destroys the official iPlayer application on multiple levels, there is really no reason not to use this instead.  
(Version 0.95.3)

NOOKSTERM  Funny that, because I understood perfectly that you chose to needlessly brow-beat a freeware developer about their non-profit software.

Perhaps you should email the Big N, and tell them about this bedroom programmers heinous activities, I'm sure they would just love to hear all about your scathing observations.

You appear to not understand the difference between a huge multinational, and a kid making fanware on his computer.

NOOKSTERM  Oh yeah, I'm sure he paying a fat fee to use these properties in a free to download game, because that would make sense...

PSEUDO TASUKI  You seem to have misunderstood my comment. I was pointing out that this game blatantly violates trademarks and copyrights.

You also seem to misunderstand how to reply.

NOOKSTERM  This actually runs much better than I thought it would on an 800Mhz iMac. Much better than a P4 2GHz with a GeForce 2MX.

I'm thinking that it might have been the graphics card that hammered the PC (despite the fact that all the iMac has is a 32MB 4MX).
