iPlayer Grabber is a freeware application based on opensource technology for downloading programs from the BBC's iPlayer on Mac OS X.

iPlayer Grabber gives you a simple, native, Mac OS X interface to make using the underlying script much easier. iPlayer Grabber features an integrated iPlayer browser. Use the app to browse around the iPlayer site, click a program you would like to save and you are prompted to download. Programs are saved as Quicktime .mov files (they are actually encoded using h.264, often referred to as MP4) and can be kept for posterity and later watched on your Mac or video-capable iPod (or a Windows or Linux PC for that matter).
