|
Can I record pay-per-view movies or videos? |
|
No. Pay-per-view content uses Digital Rights Management (DRM), and cannot be recorded. |
| |
| |
|
Can I record from password-protected sites? |
|
In most cases, the answer is YES! Make sure Auto Recording mode is selected from the Options button. |
| |
| |
|
How do I convert my recordings to other formats like MP3? |
|
WM Recorder saves files in their original streamed format only.
If you're looking for a great conversion tool, we highly recommend Replay Converter. |

Can I burn my recordings to a CD or DVD? |
|
WM Recorder currently makes only .WMA (audio) and .WMV (video) files. You can copy these files to a data CD, and watch or listen to them as long as your CD Player supports these formats.
To burn audio CDs, you'll need to convert them to WAV files first. Replay Converter is a good product which can do this.
As far as making DVDs goes, Replay Converter can produce AVI files which most DVD burning programs can use. |

How does the Compress Time feature work? |
|
Example 1: You’re playing a long video and want to record just portions of it. For example, let's say you stop the video after the first 10 minutes and then advance the seek bar to the next point at 25 minutes. When the file is played back Windows Media will see a time gap of 15 minutes and it will freeze the picture and sound during all this time. Compressing the time will eliminate this gap.
Example 2: You’re recording a stream that has multiple interruptions (gaps) where no data is coming (do not confuse this with buffering time). The compress time will eliminate the wasted time and cut off the gaps. |

What does the Seekable option do? |
|
The Seekable option enables the seek bar for a recorded file so you can move forward or backward through the file. However, there are instances when a file cannot be made seekable during recording even if this option is enabled. In this case, you should use the Reprocess option with the Seekable flag enabled.
The opposite is when you record a file that was seekable but you want to make it non-seekable. This may force your audience to see the entire clip. In this case, you can Reprocess the file with the seekable flag off. |

What happens if the site I'm trying to record from is busy? |
|
If this happens, WM Recorder will try to reconnect at 10 second intervals. |
