The VideoLAN Forums

Under Video & Codecs Settings I have the following string

C:\Users\SP\Downloads\$N_($ T)

If I remove " $N_($ T) " Video Name (Video Time) the file records fine. But with the Video Name & Time string added I'm not getting an output file saved to Downloads. This exact string worked perfect with my old laptop set up as "D:\Downloads\$N_($ T)"

Any ideas anyone?

bump?

Still having this problem.
String used to work fine.
