Before using Replay A/V, you'll need to configure it with some basic information.
When you first use the software, you'll see the Folders screen, which lets you
specify locations for recordings and temporary files:
The various settings are:
Save output files to this folder: Choose a folder
or even create a new folder into which you will save all your recordings.
Click the Browse button to pick your folder.
Temporary Files Folder: This should be located on
a drive that has lots of free space. Replay A/V sometimes captures uncompressed
audio, and then converts it to MP3s. Uncompressed audio can be as large as
4 Gig, depending upon the length of your recording.
When you've finished with this screen, click Next. The Connections screen
appears:
If you use a dial-up connection, or if you access the Web via a proxy server,
enter this information here. Here's what these settings do:
Connect Via default Dial-up Connection: If your PC
is on a LAN, DSL or Cable Modem, leave this unchecked. Otherwise, Replay A/V
will use the default dial-up connection to connect to the Internet before
recording the show.
Test Default Dial-up Connection: This lets you test
the dial-up connection to be sure it is working properly.
Internet Connections use a Proxy Server:
If you connect to the Net using a proxy server, enter this data here.
Click Finish. Finally, if you ever use the Audio Record Method,
you can test the various lines available for your sound card. The Audio Recording
Method Test screen appears:
Click Begin Audio Recording Test to test the various lines for the selected
Sound Card. Click Done when the test is finished, or if you want to skip
the test.
Congratulations! Replay A/V is all set up and ready to go.

If you plan to have Replay A/V make CDs, you should be sure to set up the CD
Burner properly.
From the Replay A/V menu, select File, Settings.
Click the Other tab. The Other Settings dialog appears:
Click Setup CD Burner. The CD Burner Setup
dialog appears:
The CD drive should appear. Set the proper write speed for
the media you want to use.

pertain to your system.
Click OK.
IMPORTANT NOTES
CD-R discs will generally give better results than CD-RW
discs, especially with older CD players.
Ensure the write speed is within range for the disc you
are using. For example, if your discs are rated at 24x, make sure the CD Burner
is configured for 24x or less.
Please read the CD Burning Guide before
creating audio CDs to learn more and avoid some of the potential pitfalls of
creating audio CDs.
