As I recall, the ability to save Realplayer streams is a function of 
the type of Realplayer client one has.  The purchased version allows 
saving the received stream to a file, the free one does not. At 
least that was the case several years ago.  I am not current on what 
is available now.

At 100kbps nominal streaming rate, the file size would be quite 
large for an hour-long performance.
