Using Replay A/V 8, I recorded from CBC last night from 3:00 am to 7:30 am. Stayed up and watched the first 30 minutes to make sure all was going well, then left it to do its own thing. Came back this morning, to find the named directory empty, and a file of around 1 Gbyte in a New_File (? - whatever the default folder name is) folder. I assume that's because I left "Record Now" checked, but that doesn't seem very intuitive.
Trouble is, the file extension is still .cap. I can open it in Windoze Media Player 10, and it plays fine, but it's missing duration information, so all I can do right now is watch; no seek, no fast forward. I didn't have time to make sure it went all the way to 7:30 - I'd still be there now - but I did the math and at 500 kbytes/second, the file size looks good for 4.5 hours.
I've backed up the file and left Replay Converter running to convert to a 450kbps AVI file, to see if that's better. But I suspect there's a better way to make this file properly compatible with WMP. Is there?
