How can I get videos from CNN or BBC

Post by Supergirl »

Hi out there!

I don't know to which topic it is related, therefore I post it in this one. As a teacher it is important to keep the students up to date.. Therefore I show them videos from bbc or cnn, however sometimes the internet connection is really bad or it doesn't work at all.. Now my question is, can I download the videos somehow? I mean on a legal way? One of my students told me as long as I record it, it is legal.. Is this true and how can I record from the internet? And I need a step by step description how to do it, please!

Thank you guys!

I would bet that if you wrote to each network using your school and teacher credentials explaining what you want, and why, they will give you a link you can use to get the material you want.

If ether does not post back and I will PM you with some other ideas.

Not really sure why you would want CNN material. :D

I imagine any decent "Flash Media Recorder/Downloader" would do the job.
