VLC is right, but I dont tihnk u can save http files that easily if u want
them trancoded, maybe u can transcode them with http if u use vlc's http
server, but i dont know much about that.

*I would use VLC VLM feature, that will let u setup any transcoding options
u might need. It uses RTSP instaid of http (Which is better anyway :))
