Depending on where you want to record from, YouTube-DL is a very good CLI option. The actual original project is not as active as it once was, however, an offshoot fork of the project is thriving and doing well (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp). While this project started off focused on downloading YouTube videos, it supports many, many content sites on the internet.

But it can grab content from a lot of social media sites, YouTube, network TV, and cable TV content sites.

If your question is really focused on the conversion process itself, many tools including mine utilize FFMPEG (https://ffmpeg.org/), a CLI tool for video transformation. You can always use that directly to get similar results.
