TV CLIP

[mjulian]

Does anyone know if it is possible to download a 5 minute clip from a TV programme in such a way as to be able to send it to someone in the US to watch please?

I can find the programme on ITV player but the person in the US is unable to access the link. I've approached the programme makers but they want to charge approx £50.00 for doing this - which I thought was incredibly expensive for a 5 minute clip - but, maybe it is more difficult to do than I thought. Does anyone know if the US and the UK are compatible DVD wise - if I tried to download it myself?! I know there used to be a problem with videos. Not that I'm very technically minded but I would have a go rather than pay out all that money. It's not for me but for someone else so I'm just trying to gather together all my options.

Many thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

you could play it on your computer and use a screen recorder such as
http://camstudio.org/ to make a movie then send that to your friend.

Easiest way would be to record it from screen using something like Camtasia, (theres plenty of screen recorders Google it).
Get yourself a Youtube account then just upload it to Youtube and give the person in the USA the link to watch it.

If the item you are recording is subject to copyright, make it much harder/impossible for the organisations that try and get this stuff removed from youtube by not putting the proper name of the programme in the title or the tags.

I do this every week for some people in Aus, New Z & USA and some other countries judging by the viewing data that youtube kindly provide
