BBC iPlayer is a service that lets you catch up with radio and television programs from the past week of BBC. With BBC iPlayer you can:

• Find and play programs (including TV Shows, the radio program, songs, Video on BBC) from the past seven days and watch them on the website through click to play (streaming). 
• Download and stream HD programs. Access BBC iPlayer on certain mobile phones. 
• Download programs onto your computer, if it supports BBC iPlayer Desktop. 

Most TV programs are available to download from the BBC iPlayer site.

Beyond this convenience, there are also restrictions from BBC iPlayer. Programs are restricted to BBC iPlayer as "the technology is not compatible with any other media players." In general, programs are available for up to seven days after their original broadcast.

If you want to sync programs to portables devices like MP4 Players, Cell Phone, you'll also need a PC running Windows XP or Vista, with Windows Media Player 10 installed. Once the programs are downloaded, they will self destruct after 30 days because it is 'DRM License protected'. And once played you have up to seven days to finish watching the program.

BBC Content will be automatically deleted from your computer once its expiry date has been reached. If you are outside the UK and connected to the internet you can only listen live and listen again to most of our radio programs.

Why there are so many restrictions? According to BBC iPlayer Terms and Conditions No. 5, "in order to meet the BBC's obligations to rights holders, the BBC will embed downloadable BBC with digital rights management security." So we can see that it is DRM (Digital Right Management) protection that limits us for further using of these programs.

Or can we covert BBC iPlayer programs to any portable devices like iPod, PSP, Zen, Walkman, etc? Or even can we burn the files downloaded from iPlayer to DVD disc?
