I just started recording with Replay Media Catcher 4, then navigated to BBC3 radio and played the hd stream. RMC downloaded it automatically.

If you want to capture RTMP streams from your local flash player while you play them (instead of downloading), you can go to the Tools -> Settings -> RTMP Download Tweaks and tick the option to always record RTMP streams instead of downloading. This is helpful if you want to play your stream in real time and record it as well, because it allows to avoid 2 threads: one for playing and another one for downloading.

If you want to extract AAC tracks from FLV files into m4a files after recording automatically, just select the "Audio Extraction (AAC into M4A)" in the "Conversion settings" belows the list of recordings.

That's it. Just start recording and select the conversion settings and you're ready to go.


As for burning to CD/DVD/Blu-Ray, if you want to burn to an Audio CD that can be played on any CD player, conversion is needed. If you want to burn your files for archiving purposes, you can use any disc that you like. I burn my files with freeware ImgBurn, although there are lots of other great programs.

I've burnt more than a thousand of discs and not all of them are good. Some of them became unreadable in year or two, but most of such discs were cheap ones (50-100 disc spindles). Since your recordings shouldn't take much space, I recommend to store them online. Free space offered by Dropbox, Microsoft Skydrive,... should be enough for you. But of course you can burn DVDs (Verbatim or something else). I just recommend to avoid spindles and to burn the same content onto discs from different companies, if your content is very valuable.
