.rm = .ram = RealPlayer = Fairly low bitrate but not so great quality streaming ideo.

www.real.com

For some cool stuff to watch with the free player, go to www.sputnik7.com (can also use WMP)

Yes. But I try to stay quiet when I don't have a solution or questions I think may lead to one.

Is there a way to store the videos on disk?

I doubt it, but it may be possible... I haven't ever tried personally... why would I waste the HDD space if I can view them there for free any time I want? Membership costs nothing, and they don't spam you.

for better quality? I have only DSL + CDROMs are cheap.

They stream, and they use SureStream. The broadband stream speed is ~200 kbps you won't get better quality by trying to 'rip them off' downloading it to your hard drive instead. If you want higher quality, buy the DVD.

I can't watch the high quality stream with my DSL, it colapses too often. Buying the DVD, aha, no equivalent solution but a opportunity. Thanx.
