hello all,

EDIT: The video is actually being downloaded however it is being broken down into 45 minute chunks. 45m, 45m, 45m, 30m for the total. Is there a way to keep the original stream in tact or a merge tool built-in?



I'm hoping you can help me. Replay Media Catcher (just downloaded today -- newest version) is detected the following video as only 45m however it is nearly 3 hours:

Does anyone know why this might be? I am using the demo but I know taht RMC shows the full length even before only giving you 50%. Even so, half the length would be nearly 90 minutes. Hopefully you can help me... I'm interesting in buying today if we can get this worked out.

The video plays after the 45 minute mark just fine so I'm curious if I need some special RTMP tweaking or??


Thank you very much...

Hey There

Sometimes, streaming servers will split up the video into multiple files to enable quicker load time and less freezing. That's my guess for this one as well. Still, 90 minutes (1.5 hours) per file isn't too bad. Plus, you can always combine them once done with Replay Media Splitter (http://applian.com/replay-media-splitter/) :cool:
