taihai.cntv.cn: I can't record more than 5 minute segments...please help.

[mike828]

I changed the segment size to 1 so it would record the entire show in 1 file. It still doesn't work. If I select another part of the show I'm trying to capture, the software records another 5 minute chunk.

This is the show I'm trying to record:

I paid $40 for the software. I'm not using the demo version. Please help. Thanks.

Just to elaborate, can you please confirm you've done all of the following? Some sites do not support segmented HTTP progressive downloads correctly. This will sometimes leave you with downloaded video that is shorter than the original. To resolve this, do a straight rather than segmented download. The download will be slower, but you'll get the entire stream. Here's how:

Click on Tools, then Settings, then expand HTTP Download Tweaks
Set the Maximum Number of Segments to 1.
Change this number back to 5 when downloadng from sites that respond correctly.

Also if your network connection is unreliable this could lead to downloads that do not complete in full. If you're unsure of your network connectivity try reducing your number of simultaneous downloads to lighten the load.

Keep in mind that if you're running Replay Media Catcher in demo mode, you'll receive 50% of each video you download. 100% for YouTube. Purchasing a license will remove all demo restrictions.
