RTMP flash stream recorders for Windows
To record rtmp:// flash video .flv stream from embedded Adobe Flash Player may use the following RTMP Flash stream rippers:

My top three:
Replay Media Catcher (Shareware/Windows) - can find rtmp:// stream URLs and automatically download RTMP flash video .FLV streams and RTMP .MP3 audio streams from embedded Adobe Flash player.
WM Recorder (Shareware/Windows) can find rtmp:// stream URLs and automatically download RTMP flash video .FLV streams and RTMP .MP3 audio streams from embedded Adobe Flash player. RTMP stream recording of WM Recorder is at the early stage, so there are some problems with recording live RTMP streams (like live video chats), recording RTMP through HTTP.
Jaksta (Shareware/Windows) can download and capture RTMP and HTTP videos from Adobe Flash Player. Also has a Mac version.
