So you say that you ran RMC 3.11 and RMC 4 simultaneously, and RMC 3.11 download the 1280x720 version while RMC downloaded the 640x360 version?
Can you post the URL of the web-page as well as the URLs found with RMC 3.11 and RMC 4?

No you misunderstood - or I didn't state it correctly. I first downloaded the material using 3.11. Then after that, downloaded the same material again using 4.2.1.
Then I played them back simultaneously using 2 separate Applian flv players, watching them on my widescreen monitor. I fiddled with the timing until they were in sync, so I could do a side by side comparison. Yes the 3.11 downloaded 1280 x 720, and the 4.2.1 downloaded 640 x 360.
At a x1 setting, the 640 x 360 was half the size of the other. In order to compare I had to set it x2, making it grainier as you would expect.
That is an interesting idea - maybe I could start up both versions and download simult. But it would be very slow, and I am not sure what it would further prove.
The website requires a paid subscription.
Both RMC 3.11 and RMC 4 download or capture streams that you watch. If you play an SD/HD stream, you will download it, not something else.
I have to admit that I don't watch as they download. I let them record overnight. So I will try to start both at the same time 3.11 and 4.2.1. I don't think I can watch more than the original program as it plays, so that won't tell me anything. But it will prove that each of the 2 versions is being processed differently as the flv file is being created.
I believe the 4.2.1, as I have been saying, is cutting the material in half, degrading it, in order not to run into some file size limit. I have no conversion called for.
Get the stream url from 3.11 (should be able to double click on the file in the rmc window, although i only used 3.11 once so i am not 100 percent on this) and then copy and paste that url into the 4.2.1 Download (under tools) that way you are sure to get the same stream. I have a feeling you were getting a lower quality stream when this happened.
I am also seeing the same error. Any stream over about 2gb in length gets cut off. If I adjust the quality of the stream such as the content is less than 2gb all works fine.
Now that I go back and look at all the content I have downloaded recently the pattern is the same. Anything files over 2gb have a issue.
Looking forward to a fix.
