iPlayer GrabberOverview

iPlayer Grabber is fixed - again! (Late Dec 2009 problems)
PLEASE READ THE REQUIREMENTS AND COMMENTS BEFORE POSTING A REQUEST FOR HELP - THANKS!
iPlayer Grabber is a freeware application based on opensource technology for downloading programs from the BBC's iPlayer on Mac OS X.
iPlayer Grabber is based on the excellent work of Paul Battley who produced the opensource iplayer-dl ruby script which forms the heart of iPlayer Grabber. It does all the heavy lifting involved with actually downloading programs from the iPlayer site. What iPlayer Grabber gives you is a simple, native, Mac OS X interface to make using Paul's script much easier for non geeks and the lazy amoung us (me). The main feature that iPlayer Grabber adds is it's integrated iPlayer browser, use the app to browse around the iPlayer site, click a program you would like to save and you are prompted to download. Programs are saved as Quicktime .mov files (they are actually encoded using h.264, often referred to as MP4) and can be kept for posterity and later watched on your Mac or video capable iPod (or a Windows or Linux pc for that matter).
