iPlayer to CD

Is it possible to download a video from BBC iPlayer and get it into a correct format in order to burn it onto a CD?
Thanks

If you burn a data CD and the file size is under about 750MB then it can be burnt to CD.

But what exactly do you intend to do with the video assuming you get it? Is it simply to have a copy of the file or to play it on a DVD player (in which case why burn to CD and not DVD?)

We will gloss over the legalities of doing this

Basically i want to get a TV programme on a CD/DVD via iPlayer, as i missed the chance to record it whilst it was on TV.

If you are up to using a command line interface get_iplayer has always worked for me.
