Question

WM Recorder Stops and Starts over


Hi,

I am wondering why when I try to stream any video on this page:
Code:
http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=CHARLIE+ROSE&hl=en
The stream starts, I am recording in WM Recorder I get anywhere from 5 to 80 percent through the @ 80 Mb video. And the video (according to the Recording window) is "cancelled" (I see this for about one minute).

Then there is a countdown and the video is recorded from the beginning again.

It may do this 9 times, and I never do get the complete video.

My connection is @ 300 - 500 kbps.

If I do not use the recorder and try to watch the video it of course will pause while it buffers. But..... similar to what the WM Recorder sees if it is the only target for the stream, the video stops (freezes),
the pause button is still shown (I am still in the play mode).

It would stay frozen forever, but I have found that I can click and drag the seek slider a bit forward and then the play button shows again... If I click the play button the video starts again from that point.

Is Google streaming the video in some new way?
I never had this trouble before.

Why does WMRecorder "loose" the stream and have to start over?

This stream is a flash video stream.

Can someone help?

Thanks
