When I receive my mind reading degree, I’ll be able to divine what kind of stream you’re talking about, and then I’ll be able to help you. Be patient.

Can't help you with video, but Total Recorder for audio capture from www.highcriteria.com is such an incredible bargain that I am at an uncharacteristic loss for words. (And I'm just a customer, not a stockholder; or a friend or a distant relative of a stockholder!)

I have never used it, but I heard it’s good.

Let me know if it works.

Try Camtasia Studio - it lets you record the screen on your computer, or a part of it and save as a video file

Agreed. I use Total Recorder very heavily for audio recordings. For video you can do a search for VDownloader. It will capture YouTube videos and a few others and it is free.

It depends what kind of file. Most video files can just be saved.

If it’s an Adobe Flash file, then you can get a little freeware program that allows you to download flash files to disk, and then play them with Internet Explorer.

It can be found if you scroll down the page here to the Flash Saving Plugin near the bottom:

I just downloaded and installed ViLoader, a free browser add-on. It works on YouTube videos.

Thanks for bringing this subject up :)

For audio, I downloaded and bought Super MP3 player and have never been disappointed with that program.

For Mac...
* Snapz Pro X will capture from 1 to 30fps video. You can define what portion of the screen you want to record. It records both system audio and/or the microphone input. You can resize the output and select different compression codecs. It’s $69.
* Wiretap is an audio capture tool. A shareware version is available with certain features disabled. Activating the Pro features cost ~$20.
Both of these are available from—> http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/

For Windows, I’m told it’s Camtasia.
