How can I rip a RealPlayer streaming video?

What are some ways to turn a RealPlayer streaming video file into a ripped, usable file on your hard drive? I've seen stuff for the audio part, but not so much video.
Man, those mplayer folks don't make it easy to figure out how to install and run it. Is there a square-one manual a mere mortal can understand?

If you use Windows or OS X, you might find somewhat more user-friendly packaging by looking here or here, respectively. I haven't tried these personally, so YMMV.

google for a program called HiDownload - it does this sort of thing very well.

This will save pretty much any streaming format to a file. It does not re-encode the data, so you end up with an exact copy of the original.
