i understand your instructions about replacing the .flv file name found after the -o with your command for vlc, i'm just not sure how to get to that point.
i could use another nudge in the right direction..!

You may use
rtmpdump for downloading streams from justin tv and other web-sites using RTMP, RTMPE protocols.
RTMPexplorer is a GUI for rtmpdump. You can use RTMPexplorer with rtmpsrv or rtmpsuck.

After downloading with rtmpdump or dumping with rtmpsuck you will be able to play FLV files. When these programs don't record anything, you won't be able to play it.

Just use
RTMPexplorer with rtmpsrv or rtmpsuck for recording.
Use rtmpdump with VLC for playing RTMP, RTMPE streams in VLC.
