[Stream Recorder]

Before using any stream recording software (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/all-streaming-video-recording-software.htm) you should learn how to get stream URLs (http://all-streaming-media.com/faq/recording-media-stream/faq-get-media-stream-URL.htm).

One of the best and easiest ways of getting stream URLs is by using URL Finder (URL Snooper, URL Sniffer) software (http://all-streaming-media.com/find-stream-URL/URL-Finders-Packet-Sniffers-URL-Snoopers-Software-to-Find-hidden-stream-URLs.htm) like free Project URL Snooper.

After getting stream URL you may choose a stream recorder taking into account the format of a stream you wanna record (Windows Media, Real Video, Quick Time video, Flash Video, Nullsoft video,...). Our chart All streaming video recording software (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/all-streaming-video-recording-software.htm) may help you in choosing the right recorder.

p.s.
When using Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) or WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/streaming-video-recording-wmrecorder.htm) in AUTO recording mode, you don't have to worry about getting stream URLs 'coz your streams will be saved to hd automatically.

well, all this tools (URL Finder, URL Snooper, URL Sniffer) uses the WinPcap packet capture driver. Is there free programs that does not use WinPcap? For example, WM Recorder have three modes to capture url, one mode is 'URL mode' that use internet explorer to capture links, not via network adapter. Is there similar freeware utilities?

Are there any URL finders for Macintosh?
I don't think there are any URL Finders for the Mac, but you may try to use packet sniffers that support protocols used by media streams. Sorry, but I can't suggest you any of them ATM.
