Recording cancels instantly after starting

I'm running Windows Media Recorder 12.5 on vista x64.
I have recorded successfully for years, but now when I record anything it starts and then instantly cancels. This is on youtube vids, CMT, etc... anywhere. I have tried several that I know are non-encrypted in case that is the issue. I have tried it with firewalls disabled. I have unistalled, and reinstalled. Everything I try regardless of the url starts and then cancels. Any help would be nice. Thanks folks.

Same problem here. Just started w/in the last couple of weeks. I've no clue...

What version of WM Recorder do you have? What OS do you use? Any sample URLs that we can try?

It's wmr12 and it's working splendidly now. The one thing I had not tried (which I did immediately after making this post) was to reinstall the software.
The *only* difference I noticed between the before-and-after is this:
When it was not working, the "url" box contained "nvidia...etc," i.e., information about the sound card?
And I'd thought this strange because it had always--and does again--have "flash/rtmp - capture enabled" as the "default".
So I don't know if I inadvertently changed something or not, but again, it's back to working splendidly as always.
Great software, all of it!

Having the same problem here since I upgraded to WM Recorder 14.
On my XP computer it very occasionally the program will record a video from You Tube. But 19 out 0ut 20 times it cancels immediately upon connecting. On MY computer running Vista, the program does not work at all. Will not recognize any URL's. I am giving Appian a few weeks to come up with a solution before I demand a refund on my upgrade.

I have been using WM Recorder succesfully for years but since recently upgrading to WM Recorder 14 I am experiencing the same problem as Arthur. Frequently the recorder starts and then suddenly stops recording. Has never behaved in this esporadic manner before. It use to be reliable software. What could be causing this?
I am using IE but have also tried Firefox.
Some Youtube and some BBC.co.uk/radio4 (broadcasts)

As I said above WM 14.
However it has worked this evening. Just recorded two BBC streams without a problem.

Further to above. Just tried to record from Youtube and it inmediately cancelled. Kept restarting and it kept Cancelling moments after the stream begun.

As I asked above, what version exactly do you have??? Have you tried the latest one?
What mode do you use to record BBC and YouTube streams?
