Failing to Fully Record a YouTube Video

**akj** · 03-09-2009, 02:36 PM

Today I purchased the full Replay Capture Suite (so hopefully it is fully up-to-date) and have had an enjoyable time with it.

However I have hit a problem using Media Catcher and would welcome any suggestions to overcome it.

Whenever I try to use Mozilla Firefox or IE6 (or even a web browser I wrote myself) to play the video
www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-ALPVoWa2Y
(John Matthews sings "Carousel" by Jacques Brel)
and record it with Media Catcher, two strange things happen:
1. Media catcher initiates two (in one attempt, three) recordings of the same video
2. Both recordings terminate abruptly after 6.36MB (about one minute) after a beep or beeps have sounded.

Is this due to some DRM security feature, and if so, can it be overcome?

I am using Windows XP Pro and would welcome any suggestions that might resolve this.

Did you play the files back to see if they are complete? If you are getting the green checkmark the entire file should have downloaded. It is possible that you may be getting occasional duplicate downloads with the latest version of Media Catcher. This will happen when the video is being requested from 2 different locations. Just delete one of the recordings.

Thanks for all your help.

Tasha asked:

Did you play the files back to see if they are complete?

No, I admit to say I did not, as I never expected the recording to be complete long before the video finished playing.

I'm sorry I made such a stupid mistake, but I am still getting to grips with the wonderful software.

I also now understand why duplicate recordings are initiated.

Are you using the demo version? What version of Media Catcher do you have?
If you are using the demo version of 3.01 please uninstall and install the latest version from our site.
