Capture Video Streams

[ElTaco]

Anyone ever done it? I've been playing with two video stream capturing and DVD burning softwares but I'm not very happy with the quality that they capture. One of them saves the file as a .mov so it probably loses quality when it goes back from a wmv stream to the .mov and then you burn it on DVD and it looks like crap. I'm hoping the other software does a little better. I'm burning it now after it just captured the stream.

Anyway the ones I'm using are:

ProDVD Internet DVD Recorder:
Uses a small 'control panel' and Windows Media Player plugin to capture anything you play through Windows media player in the browser or in the player itself. Its automated. Then you go to the recorder, which is actually a seperate program and it makes a DVD with a simple menu. No real DVD editing.

StreamDown:
You put in the stream address and it will capture run the stream and save it to the computer as a .mov. It doesn't actually come with a DVD creator or burner. I used my Pinnacle Studio 10 to actually create and burn the DVD but the quality of the saved stream was so bad, the DVD came out looking like shit.

Both softwares are small utilities, probably programmed by some non-american peeps who are making about $50 a pop off of each sale.
So the question is, have you used some other capture program/open source project or some other technique to capture a stream and get a really good quality DVD out of it (assuming the stream was of decent quality of course)?

The best stream ripper in my opinion ('cause I can get it to run under WINE in Linux) is:
