Debut Video Capturing Software is designed to be very easy and intuitive to use. Simply download it from (https://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/debutsetup.exe) here and install it. Installation is quite easy, once its installed, it will give you an option to configure the settings.
After the configuration is done, the software immediately starts capturing the contents of the screen until you specify to either capture a portion of the screen or to capture from a device like a webcam.
If you want to record a streaming video on windows media player or if you’re having a video chat and want to record it just specify the the portion of the screen and if you want to change the file format you can do that too.

I stumbled upon this post, it’s absolutely helpful. I always use Acethinker Screen Grabber to capture streaming video, free and works pretty well. Share it here as an alternative.
While it does work the video output was choppy once the streaming was recorded.
Screen recording program is not a good choice for recording a long length video since you have to play through the video all the way for recording. Obviously, this is an inconvenient thing for a busy people like me and while recording you need to care about you activities on desktop not to be recorded. Thus I also backup a program which can record background to cope with online existing videos

I personally use a program called Joyoshare Screen Recorder. It claims that it could record in no time limit. Though I never try to record a video that lasts for a whole day, but I did record two movies at a time which totally up to 6 hours, and this program works great. I can even schedule my recordings so that I don’t have to sit all day in front of my Mac. Just to add, it can record in HD quality. Maybe you could give it a shot if you need.
Screen capture software should be the last option in recording streaming videos. If you do care about quality, then try to download or capture streams instead of recording them from screen. There is a huge list of programs that you can use
