Try any of these:

Replay Media Catcher (Shareware/Windows) - can find rtmp:// stream URLs and automatically download RTMP flash video .FLV streams and RTMP .MP3 audio streams from embedded Adobe Flash player.
Jaksta (Shareware/Windows) can download and capture RTMP and HTTP videos from Adobe Flash Player

WM Recorder (Shareware/Windows) can find rtmp:// stream URLs and automatically download RTMP flash video .FLV streams and RTMP .MP3 audio streams from embedded Adobe Flash player. RTMP stream recording of WM Recorder is at the early stage, so there are some problems with recording live RTMP streams (like live video chats), recording RTMP through HTTP.

Rip Tiger (Shareware/Windows) can download RTMP and HTTP flash videos automatically.
FLV Recorder (Shareware/Windows) can capture packets coming to your Adobe Flash Player. It can save RTMP and HTTP .FLV flash video streams to HD, but it doesn't work with RTMP .MP3 streams.
Flv Downloader and its clone Flv Ripper (Shareware/Windows) can capture RTMP and HTTP .FLV videos from Adobe Flash Player.
Flazr (Freeware/Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) software that allows to download RTMP streams. Not user friendly. Requires Java 1.5+. 
TubeMaster++ (Freeware/Windows, Linux) software that allows to download RTMP streams. Requires Java.

I have used NetTransport myself for years...

Cheers Tris! I used Tubemaster++ and couldn't work out how it works, so in the end I went on to the video on facebook, right click > view page source, find the bit with the link to the mp4, put that in a new html file as a link, right clicked and downloaded. worked like a charm! As i opened the new html file though, Tubemaster found it and downloaded it anyway!
