Some of these programs are free while others have a small fee for some great extras.

The first program is the WM Recorder 11. It uses Windows Media Player, Real Video and Quick Time and can capture HTTP, RTSP, and MMS. It also has Record Resume, Password protected streams recording, works on Windows and is $49.95. The Replay AV does all of these as well and is the same price. The HI Download 6.x Pro has the same capabilities and features but cost $10.00 less at $39.95. These are just some of the paid Record Streaming Videos products out there.

There are a few Free ones but with these you lose some of the nicer features such as recording password protected streams, the ability to use Real Video and Quick Time, and a couple do not work with Windows Media Player.
