Publisher review:get_iplayer allows you to download or stream any iPlayer programme from the BBC in H.264 (Quicktime/mp4) format, any radio programmes in MP3 or RealAudio format (optionally converted to wav or mp3) and all podcasts in MP3/AAC format. It even downloads the subtitles where available.
A major new feature available in get_iplayer adds PVR-like capabilities (like Sky+ / TiVo): you will be able to save lists of programme searches which will be automatically downloaded when they become available.
The H.264 feeds from the BBC are higher quality than in the Flash iplayer (normal quality) or the Wii. They are intended for the Apple iPhone and are consequently made difficult to download for any other OS. The same goes for the iPhone MP3 radio streams.
Operating system:Mac OS X
