I know we have some amazing techy type folks on here so thought I would give you a shot.

My daughter carried the Olympic Torch in Newcastle Upon Tyne a couple of weeks ago.

I have found her run on the BBC website. here

http://www.bbc.co.uk/torchrelay/day28

Her run starts at around 18:05 Blythe to Newcastle.

I would really like to have this to keep for her or put to on a disc but don't know if it's possible, or how to do it.

Any help would be really really appreciated.

I have no idea but how wonderful that she was chosen to carry the torch and I hope that she is keeping it !

She has no plans to ebay it if that's what you mean

She works with kids and families in the east end of Newcastle educating them in good health and nutrition and with her team, is currently running Jamie Olivers Ministry of Food programs across the north east.

She tells me that she intends to carry the torch with her to all the places she goes including the schools, so that the kids can have a hold of it and be a part of the Olympics too

For copyright reasons I would first ask the BBC if they can provide a copy for you...

... other than that... capturing flash video from a web site? search me

Play it on a computer and video it with your smartphone? Won't be great, but will be something.

For good quality I would ask the Beeb, I am sure they're inundated with requests so have some process to supply.

Reading the FAQ's, I think you could be unlucky getting a copy.

I'd just ask as others have suggested, we had a similar situation involving a sky news interview, emailed sky to ask and 2 days later a DVD with the interview on came through the letterbox! Always worth asking!

This question gets asked on a regular basis on the BBC Points of View message board.

The cost is £100+ BUT I don't think that being a torch bearer would count as being a major contributor to a programme.

Real Player used to have a function where you could make a copy of certain flash embedded content - not sure as to legality and if it is still in the latest version.

Thanks everyone for your input

Suppose it looks like short of doing the video thing on my phone, we haven't much chance of getting this, so disappointed, but will have a bash and ask the BBC if they would supply but not holding out much hope

just a thought you might try contacting LOCOG who organised the Torch Relay
