If the video you are wanting to capture is protected, I am not aware of software that will correctly record the video.

If the video does not have DRM, you can use Apple's default method.

Another option is Downie (Download Streams) + Permute (Conversions - ie .mov to MP4)

I also find Permute great for converting iPhone videos to other formats and reducing file sizes

A great pair of Apps
