Well, the company DID give me permission, in that they said, “Try downloading it from the network’s website.” They just weren’t going to give me a DVD of their own, “for legal and financial reasons.”
However, as another update to this saga, I emailed some of Shane’s arguments (without his name) to my liaison at the company, and they have now agreed to send me a DVD of the other episode I cut (the one that I didn’t buy from iTunes). So thanks, Shane for your good points!

You make very good points.
I’m happy to report that I DID find some software that does what I need. I tried two or three other trial downloads, none of which worked. But this one did.

So $40 later, I have the episode in my FCP now.

Alas, I cut it at a production house that has a new policy of not giving out DVDs of its shows. They suggested I take it from the network’s website, which is not possible, as far as I can tell. So my only option was iTunes.

Merci, Daniel!

I have an additional question: I too have FCP 5.1.4, and my Quicktime is 7.3.1. I haven’t upgraded further, having heard various horror stories.
Is it safe to upgrade to anything more recent than 7.3.1, or should I stay where I am until I upgrade Final Cut? Thanks.
