I have political site and sometimes there are news clips I want but if I use quicktime screen recording the internal mic is obviously used delivering HORRIBLE audio. It more or less sounds like someone talking in a box. What can I do to record that makes the clips sound as they play?
Mac OS X (10.6.8)
can anyone help me out on this?
Yes, the internal mic is never a good choice for capturing the speaker output. Before using a screen recording utility to record these news clips, have you considered ways to just download and save the movie files (ie. Video DownloadHelper)? This is not always possible and some sites make it a pain to do so (copyright, etc.) but this is a much better solution than recording movie playback.
QuickTime X does not capture system sound by default. There is a workaround using an audio routing tool (Soundflower).

There are many tutorials all over the Web for how to configure Soundflower to capture system audio while screen recording with QuickTime X:

Good luck. Hope this is helpful.
do you know of any program I can get to record streaming vids outside of typical plugins(like dl helper etc (I have several but will do streaming which is part of the reason I created this post)) that will not work?
