FLV Player does indeed record rtmp flash video streams but it is not sturdy. I tried five times to record a stream from nbc.com and each time it ended with the standard windows error message “FlvRecorder MFC Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.” After recording between 4 mb and 28 mb. I have 110 gb free space on my hard drive.

I then tried ‘NBC Direct’ but that doesn’t work either. I downloaded and ran ‘NBCDirectInstaller.exe’ but it did not complete. The NET Framework was installed and system re-booted OK but when I went to
www.nbc.com and tried to download a show it reported ‘Player Not Installed’. I re-ran the ‘NBCDirectInstaller.exe’. This time I got a message box that Windows Media Player needs a security update….”. I clicked OK and got the message “Failed to upgrade Microsoft DRM Individualization.’ I then clicked OK (the only options) and got the message “An exception occurred during the Rollback phase of the installation…” and that was the end of that. I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 and Windows Media Player 10 which meets all of the ‘NBC Direct’ requirements.
