Yes, it plays nicely enough ("Any encoding, rebroadcast or
retransmission of this material for the Internet is strictly prohibited
without prior written approval from Apple Computer"-- ooooh, I'm so
scared!) but he/she/it wishes to be able to save the stream locally.

-dumpaudio and -dumpvideo both dump successfully (good luck muxing them
back together!), but -dumpstream fails.  I guess the audio and video are
coming in on separate streams.  Yuck.  Log from MPlayer-20030630 below. 
The -dumpstream failure is probably due to whacky properties of the
stream(s) which can't be easily dealt with, but what the hell:
