Hi, I'm using VLC player 1.0.2. How do I use the recording feature? Does it like, allow to record whatever is being played? I went to View and selected Advanced Controls. I played a file and pressed the recording button and stopped a little later. How do I play the recording? It didn't specify where it saved. Please help me

VLC is great but there are some screwy things about it and the record feature is one of them.

I believe that if you have not done anything with the convert/save feature your recording ends up in my documents (I am not sure though)

If you have done anything with the convert/save feature then the recording goes to the directory you used for the convert/save feature.

To change the record directory you need to do the following:

1) place small multimedia file in desired directory.
2) convert file to different format.

This will set record directory to the directory used for conversion.

I think there needs to be a setting for this in the preferences in the same place were you can set the directory for snapshots.

There is already option for this.
