There is a way to get it, but that requires to stop the download before ending, and then on a pc with iTunes 8 installed (maybe a virtual machine) you go to "check for available downloads" and it re-downloads the file. Once that happens you can remove the DRM after the file is completed using a java program called Requiem. Unfortunately atm there isn't any way to remove DRM from a file downloaded with iTunes 10.x

I did it once, when i bought the World's on Fire video, worked just fine :)

If you haven't bought it yet, i can help ;)

cheers stelios for the info...

seems i have a bigger problem...when i click to watch a gig on the itunes festival page i get a message that says this computer cannot stream the itunes festival videos...i went on the apple forum and there seem to be a lot of people in the same boat and apple says nada... went to the itunes festival uk facebook page and left a post but no replies...another reason i hate itunes...the vids are free to watch but you cant :?

I just found out you were talking about streams, and not video purchases!

To be honest, i just tried it and it streams just fine here.
Video is pretty good but audio isn't that good in the recorded streams :/

Maybe in the live streaming it's better though

One could run wireshark when the video starts to check. Afaik quicktime plays rtmp streams.
Itunes wont run on my computer though.
