Streaming Video Recorder is a desktop application for Windows computers which automatically detects FLV, MP4, or other video files being streamed and notifies you via a popup in your browser’s bottom right corner.

The video is sent to the application’s list where it is downloaded. Downloaded videos can be sent directly to the application’s built-in video recorder that allows video conversions between numerous media formats. This way you can download and convert your streaming videos using the same program.

Streaming Video Recorder normally comes with a price tag of $39.95. But it offers a trial version that allows one video download at a time and only 30% of video conversion. Thankfully the app’s developers have generously offered free licenses to the first 15 MUO readers who leave a comment with their email address.

Features:

• A user-friendly desktop application.
• Compatible with Windows computers.
• Lets you download videos being streamed.
• Works with Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox.
• Offers built-in video converter supporting many video formats.

Once done, choose the desired specifications including video resolution, video quality and audio quality. Then select the desired output format such as AVI, MOV, MP4, 3GP, FLV, MP3 and M4R.
