I wish to record i-player programs onto DVD for personal use but am not sure which converter software to use.

I have just seen a demo of a converter, which looks good, but would welcome some advice on what is generally considered to be the best software to use please.

Thanks for looking

AFAIK BBC iPlayer downloads have DRM to restrict lifetime/number of playbacks. Although apps have been available in the past to circumvent this, the BBC usually plugs the loopholes with some tech - resulting in a cat + mouse situation between programmers and the BBC.

So while I would not wish to comment on the legality of DRM removal, be wary of spending cash on DRM software because what works today may not tomorrow.

TV tuner card ?
