There is a app called mmsclient for recording mms streams
http://www.geocities.com/majormms/
The link above had this mms url in it
mms://videoserver.tilde.lt/Disk30/LNKzinios/lnkzinios.wmv

So to record this 
mmsclient mms://videoserver.tilde.lt/Disk30/LNKzinios/lnkzinios.wmv
will record it for you :)
