How to SCHEDULE a Video Capture

[crispinr]

Hi - How can I schedule to start a Replay Video Capture recording at a certain date/time?

The webinar I want to record is scheduled in a different time zone, so is at 4am my local time...

Thanks for your help - and apologies if this has been asked/answered previously, please point me to the correct post...

Hi Cristin

I wish I could say 'no problem!' but unfortunately, due to the nature of Replay Video Capture being a SCREEN recorder, you're not able to schedule recordings with it. You ARE able to Schedule Recordings with Replay AV, but I can't say for sure or not if it will work with a webinar.

Is this webinar a standard 'go to meeting' type, or is it a flash or windows media player video on a public website?

Thanks so much.

Hi Jeff - Thanks for the quick reply!

In this instance, it is webcast via Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007, so I suppose it is a 'go to meeting' type.

Your thoughts?

Cheers, Cris

You may try to create a macros with automation software like freeware macromaker. It is a little bit tricky especially for cases when you need to select a recorded region manually, but it is possible.

I can't seem to attach file here, but you can create a text file and paste the following into it:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 
- <MACROMAKER ID="1003">
- <MACROS>
- <MACRO Name="record with RVC">
  <repeat>1</repeat> 
  <id>6</id> 
- <COMMANDS>
- <INS0>
  <id>4106</id> 
  <Arguments>http://www.youtube.com/appliantechnologies</Arguments> 
  <DirName /> 
  <FileName>C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE</FileName> 
  <WindowName /> 
  <RunIfOpen>1</RunIfOpen> 
  <ShowStyle>3</ShowStyle> 
  </INS0>
- <INS1>
  <id>4106</id> 
  <Arguments /> 
  <DirName /> 
  <FileName>C:\Program Files\Replay Video Capture\RVCap.exe</FileName> 
  <WindowName /> 
  <RunIfOpen>1</RunIfOpen> 
  <ShowStyle>1</ShowStyle> 
  </INS1>
- <INS2>
  <id>4096</id> 
  <DelayInterval>10000</DelayInterval> 
  </INS2>
- <INS3>
  <id>4114</id> 
  <IsAB>1</IsAB> 
  <XABCoord>42802</XABCoord> 
  <XRELCoord>1740</XRELCoord> 
  <XRELLOCCoord>-1177</XRELLOCCoord> 
  <YABCoord>57599</YABCoord> 
  <YRELCoord>10111</YRELCoord> 
  <YRELLOCCoord>3775</YRELLOCCoord> 
  </INS3>
- <INS4>
  <id>4108</id> 
  </INS4>
- <INS5>
  <id>4109</id> 
  </INS5>
  </COMMANDS>
  </MACRO>
  </MACROS>
  <RECORDINGS /> 
  </MACROMAKER>

Then save the file as recording.xml and import the macro with MacroMaker. You may need to change it a little bit to tailor to your needs.

Macromaker allows you to schedule execution of your macros.
