Version 10.2 (RM Recorder only)

• Can now adjust the Connection Speed to accommodate slower connections.
• New Turbo Mode- Turbo Mode allows recording at the highest bandwidth that your Internet connection can provide. How high the recording speed will go depends on the remote server available bandwidth. In most cases 3 to 5 Mbps can be achieved on cable connections. Turbo Mode works for On Demand (pre-recorded) streams and should only be utilized with cable connections or DSL connections higher than 256 Kbps.
• New Mirror Recording Mode - This mode allows recording while mirroring the Real Player play. In this mode the Real Player needs to be active for the entire duration of recording. The Mirror mode should be used for overloaded web sites with reduced bandwidth capability, like Live broadcasts.
• New Stream Info - This function allows you to get stream information from a recording in progress. In particular the number of lost packets and the current bandwidth show the integrity of the final recording. To access this option right click the file name in the Recording window.
• New Reprocess File function - To fix recording errors use the Reprocess File option. File errors that can be fixed are offset, timing, codecs and indexing errors. This option should be used if the Real Player playback shows a continuous "Loading..." , when sound is missing or when it takes a long time to seek through a long file. To access this function right click the file name in the PLAY window.
• Update RP Settings - This option should be used if you changed the Real Player settings after RM Recorder was installed. In particular the settings of interest are Connection Speed, Proxy and Network Transports found in Real Player / Tools / Preferences.
• New Split function - To split one section of a file you select the start and the end times of the split. When splitting timed recorded files (files with a start time different than zero) you need to specify split times greater than the start time.
• New Merge function - Two files can be merged at the time. When merging files, the first file is always the first highlighted file name in the PLAY list.
• Audio Extraction - The audio track of a video file can be extracted in Real Player format. The extracted files can be split and merged.
• Compatibility with RealMedia Producer and RealMedia Editor - The recorded files are compatible with RealMedia Producer and RealMedia Editor for On Demand (pre-recorded) broadcasts . For Live or timed recordings use the RM Recorder editing functions.
• Now has an Always on Top option.
• Now has resizable URLs and PLAY windows.
