View Full Version : Periods in filename, truncates after periods

In Replay Media Recorder on some YouTube videos, the file name contains a '.' (period). What happens is this:

While recording the filenames show as:

Joe vs. Bill (1 or 2).flv
Joe vs. Bill (1 of 2).flv

After recording the filenames become:

Joe vs.flv
Joe vs(2).flv

i.e. The names are truncated after the period on 'vs.'.

With the (2) number being assigned to the second vid to finish downloading.
How can I avoid this and keep the complete, long filename? Some have 10 or more parts, leaving me with a mixed up pile of files.

Here is a sample video where the name gets truncated.

"2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 vs. 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR.flv"
then becomes:
"2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 vs.flv"
