'tis hereRight click save as
www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/clips/brent/realmedia/ren_man_dancer.ram
In future, right click the video in your browser and choose play in realone player. Then, choose file, clip properties, view clip info, make a link for yourself to the file and right-click, save as.
Easy, no?
Edit: damn, only saves a link to the stream. I think the problem is that it's a stream, and therefore by definition can't be saved as a normal video file.
Edit 2: try downloading camstudio from www.gimber.co.uk/content/freeware Then, open up something in windows media player and have that playing in the background (mute it). Open up the stream and record it using camstudio (apparently, the first player uses Direct X, which is invisible to camstudio, so the second player has to use its own thingy, which camstudio can capture). You'll end up with an avi, which can be gifified in MS Gif animator (also on the list).
damn you, real one
