  • Some web sites change the URLs immediately after the content begins playing. In this case the captured / saved URL has no use.

 Recording time smaller than play time 

  • The recording time (DL Time) shown in the recording window is equal to the play time only for streamed files (files broadcasted at the same speed as the content bitrate). Otherwise the download time can be smaller or much smaller than the actual play time.
