erm... stream? define what you exactyl mean, the only way i have been able to do it is via my webcam using Windows Movie Maker and then before editing it, it saves a wmp file that you can play, but im not to sure if this applies to you as im not too sure what you define as a video stream,

You could try WMRecoder (i think that is the name, but will double check it). It can capture video streams, just enter the stream URL and the destination path, and it'll record.

you'll need the url.. but most smart people encript thier html to prevent Aholes from leeching, they also dbl encript by using a wpl playlist and encripting the playlist sourcecode. So its litraly imposible for you to get the URL of the video specialy when they have it on a difrent server. On top of that, they will also block right clicking of wmp embedment. But thats off topic so lol... anyways... if you wanna record video streams ... its obviusly gonabe an embeded wmp so:
Assuming the your downloading the video from is a noob
heres what u do...
1) Right click on the video
2) Select Properties
3) Highlight the url in the "Contents:" (very bottom info)
4) Use a download manager and add the url and download it!
you can also make it so your wmp doesnt respond to wmv's so that it will download it isntead of stream it.. unless its an embed if it is.. then this wont work
If the movie is not an embed (launches on your windows media player) then all you have to do is make it so wmp doesnt play wmv's

Good one right there, unregistered you can do 2 minutes at a time, but works well.

This would work for downloading a WMV file via HTTP, however most WMP streams are streams from a MMS (Microsoft Media Serivces) server, and files streamed from a MMS Server cannot be downloaded.
WMRecorder can record streams streamed via MMS, the only thing i noticed is that some MMS streams have a "welcome clip" type thing when you first play the stream before switching to the actuall stream. For such streams WMRecorder will only record the "welcome" clip and then stop

Correct, the latest version requires registration for full usage. But i've used an old one, which is totaly freeware. If you want i can try and send it to you. Just PM me

Yeah, I think WMRecorder is the best, but too bad we have to pay for newer version.
Thanks to Salem who offered the older version of WMRecorder

you can also try with a download manager like flashget, I download mms files all the time with it and just save to my hd so I can play them when I want.

---Windows Streams---
I like SDP it works well, smooth and everything. Works only for windows media streams though. Really good Program, plus its Free
Check out This link for a full List
---Recording Other streams---
For other Streams i use Streambox Vcr Suite 2 
the program is ok an. The record movies are not very smooth (RM recorder is VERY smooth compared to this... 
) if any-one knows a better program please share as im really looking for a good freeware, this one is the only one i could find. (Works for almost all media streams)
I have tried R7C Real7ime Converter, but it has yet to work. It always gives me an error: "** Can't begin decompress (I420) (err=-1d 0h)" . Else its suposed to be good.
Here for List
---How to use them---
>Just right click on the link to the file which you wanna record, "select save" as.
>The go on on the appropriate program select "file > Open" and open the file you "saved as".
>Then for SDP select GO! and it will start recording. For Streambox it will ask you about each individual stream, ect. you ll need to experiment depending on the stream.
*Sometimes they'll give you an error, trying again will sometimes help.
