How to capture clips from streaming video on a Mac?

Looking for a streaming video recorder for my MacBook pro. I tried Screenflow, but the only thing that opens the saved file is ScreenFlow. I use VLC for videos, so if I could save video, then convert it to mp4, that would be great. Is there a program that would be able to just download it as mp4? What are you using?

Although online streaming video gives us instant playback, we’ll get nothing to do without an internet connection. So we do want to capture the streaming video to watch later on a computer or portable devices like iPhone, iPad, or Android device.
