You do not have to play the entire video stream to get the stream recorded by Media Catcher.

Play the stream for 10 seconds then stop the stream then go to your next stream and repeat the process.

To stop the Media Catcher recording function do:

1. Press your ALT keyboard key
2. Press your right arrow key one time
3. Down arrow to Stop Recording
4. Press ENTER key

Your recordings will appear in the listbox.

JAWS 8 users:

the - button is the minimize button but alt+m works.

The X button is the close button but alt+F4 works.

When your video stream has been fully converted you will hear a nice audio sound. This is a nice feature to me.

The above are my experiences with Replay Media Catcher 2 pproduct.

At-Large Recorder 2.3

I tested all this on a Windows XP Home computer using JAWS 8. Applian fixed the prodcut key registration in less then 24 hours after I told them about it.

SlingMedia makes the SlingBox device. I use the SlingBox Classic.

Replay A/V - 8.30

- added new Replay A/V Audio Driver recording capability. Audio recording now works with sound cards that don't have Stereo Mix, What U Hear, Wave Out Mix
or other recording lines. Works with all Vista machines now too.
- Repositioned VU meter to be better centered at the bottom of the screen
- Adding shows from Media Guide now always works. Used to occasionally fail randomly.

Media Catcher 2.10

I am pleased to say I am able to use the Media Catcher 2.10 application with Jaws 8 screen reader for the blind.

Note:

3 issues I have with Media Catcher are:

1. Do not press insert+ down arrow keyboard combination when using this program.

2. Press the ALT key and then right arrow 1 time to access the record menu bar. Do not use ALT+R as this conflicts with the Record button that appears on the program's interface.

The "_" button you hear is the minimize button.

The "X" button you hear is the close program.

3. You have to use your Jaws cursor in the listview box that appears on main interface of Media Catcher.

This listview box is where your recordings go.

When in this listview pressing your applications key to bring up the context menu popup does not work at this time meaning you have to use your Jaws cursor and do a Jaws right mouse click to activate the listview context menu popup list of choices.

The above are only my expereiences with this program.
