...when you realize you've just spent four hours on the nigh-impossible task of cracking open Silverlight, not for the reason all the sane internet pirates want to hack it- namely, to steal Netflix videos- but because you need a way to download high quality Parliament TV footage in order to make a Nutvies vid

xD That's awesome. Thanks for solving it!

And here I thought I was accomplished for finding get_iplayer, but that's easily discoverable on google.

I have hacked all the things this morning. I just figured out how to get the Leveson clips through the Unix command line. XD

I see the chances of me actually accomplishing any productive work today receding ever farther over the horizon...

youtube_dl can be helpful too on occasion. And there's a whole load of command line options to get_iplayer which make things easier ...

(Now I just have to remember what it was I was using to download dailymotion vids which I predict will soon outstrip youtube, so buy your shares now ...)
