Frank-Michael,

Yes, thanks - I do already use the techniques that you quote, especially
if I want to save a stream to disc, but I think that your post supports
very well my assertion that it's a "real fiddle".

I was wondering if there was any way to do all this *without* all this
cutting and pasting? My programming skills are rather weak as well as
rusty, but this doesn't look too difficult to do...

BTW - this method still requires the Realplayer codecs of course. The
only way AFAIK to obtain the latest ones legitimately is to download and
install their player :-(
