If this is the first time you are using Replay Media Catcher 6 (RMC6), you may get a notice about our SSL Scanner. This helps facilitate capturing streaming media over HTTPS connections. RMC6 will then watch for streaming media as you browse the internet. If streaming media is recognized, it will be saved to your computer. For more information, please read Capture Method - Stream Downloader.
If you don't want RMC6 to constantly watch for streaming media, turn AUTO to the Off position: 
For On Demand saving of media, Drag & Drop or Copy & Paste the webpage URL into the URL Download field.
RMC6 will then find the media on the page and save it for you. For more info, please see Saving Online Media with the URL Bar and DVR Online Videos with the URL Bar.
If the media playing in your browser (or via the Drag & Drop or Copy & Paste method) cannot be saved, the media is likely protected. In these cases, use RMC6's Audio Recorder or Digital Video Recorder features to save the media.

Replay Media Catcher 6 is an easy, yet powerful way to capture video and audio files from thousands of web sites as they play in any web browser. These files can be transferred to smartphones or tablets, burned to a CD or DVD disc, or incorporated into other programs like PowerPoint or video editors.
Besides being a simple-to-use streaming media recorder, Replay Media Catcher 6 has some other handy features:
When you start Replay Media Catcher 6 for the first time, the default view is the Home tab for Stream Recording.
At the top of Replay Media Catcher 6 is a toolbar which adjusts depending on the chosen Capture Method.
When the Stream Downloader Capture Method is chosen, the AUTO button will appear, as in the above screenshot. Please read Capture Method - Stream Downloader for its usage.
At the top right you will find the main toolbar icons for accessing the most common recording features. The contents of the toolbar are dependent on the current recording method. In the Stream Downloader Capture Method, from left to right, the icons are:
Registration: If you are still in trial mode, you can register RMC6 using this button. If you are already registered, the button will not appear.
Capture method selection: The cloud download icon indicates that Stream Downloader is the active capture method. Click this icon to change to other downloading methods.
Small interface mode: Clicking this button will shrink RMC6 into a much smaller, streamlined interface.
Output Folder location: Use the Output Folder button to change where you would like media to be saved. This action is also available in Settings.Main menu: The Main Menu button provides an extensive list of program actions.Along the left hand side of the user interface you will find tabs for:
Most of your time will be spent in the Home tab, from which you can view all of your saved media.
The Guides provide a convenient way to find new media.

and revealing the Windows folder in which the media was saved.
Replay Media Catcher 6 will detect and download video and music from thousands of sites and streamed via many different protocols and in many different formats.Click here for the full list of supported protocols.
It does not matter what browser or other application you use to watch video or listen to music that is streamed from the internet. This is because Replay Media Catcher monitors the network stream for media, and once detected will download or record the stream.
When Replay Media Catcher detects a compatible stream, it will try and create another connection to download it. When Replay Media Catcher is downloading, there is no need to continue to play the video or music in your browser!
Sometimes it is not possible for Replay Media Catcher to download the media. In these instances, Replay Media Catcher will record the stream as it plays in your browser. When Replay Media Catcher is recording in this manner you must continue to play the video or music in your browser. If you stop playback, then Replay Media Catcher will also stop recording.
Replay Media Catcher displays Downloading or Recording in the Status column of the Home tab for the respective methods. If a stream is protected and cannot be downloaded or recorded directly, then you can use the Audio Recorder (for audio content) or Digital Video Recorder (for video content) Capture Methods to save the media.
You must start monitoring BEFORE you watch or listen to media that you want to capture. First, make sure that the capture method at the top right is set to Stream Downloader, as seen to the right. Click on the AUTO switch before browsing to the media you want to capture. Once clicked, the AUTO switch will turn slide right and turn green .
You can perform manual downloads using the URL bar, found directly beneath the AUTO switch. As the hint text suggests, you can manually type in a URL, copy & paste a URL, or drag & drop a URL into the text field. If you already have a URL copied to the Windows clipboard, you can also use the 
clipboard button at the end of the URL field. Then click the Enter key or press the 
download arrow button. RMC6 will visit the URL and attempt to grab streaming media from it. The final 
DVR button in the bar will launch a Digital Video Recording of media at the URL (please refer to Capture Method - Digital Video Recorder for more information).
Oftentimes, online media will be streamed in multiple formats and qualities. For compatible streams, RMC6 will detect the different available media formats and give you a choice as to which to save. Expand the formats listing and double-click on the one you want to download. The line will turn green, indicating that the video is queued for download. If you are interested in only saving a particular format or quality all of the time, you can act on those preferences with the Preferred Download Quality and Preferred Download Format options at the bottom of the window.
If you change you mind about preferred formats, you can reset the preference in Settings -> Internet Downloads.
Please refer to Settings -> Naming Rules and Advanced Settings
Audio recording is a great way to capture music when downloading fails. Saving audio using this method will work, regardless of the format, protocol, or web site of the media.
First, switch to the Audio Recorder by changing the Capture Method in the top right toolbar. The green bullseye 
RECORD button will appear at the top left.
Once clicked, the RECORD button will turn to a red square STOP button 
, but RMC6 will be actively monitoring for audio media. When RMC6 is actively recording audio, the VU meter will animate at the lower left of the interface, and the recording will be seen in the Home tab.
While recording, you may wish to begin the creation of a new file, ending the first, without stopping the recording process. This is easily achieved using the Split Now scissors icon in the toolbar 
.
Sometimes, based on the automatic silence detection settings (see Settings -> Audio Recording and DVR), a recording might be accidentally split into two or more files. Alternately, you may want to join multiple files together to make a long recording. In the Home tab, simply select the files you wish to combine, right-click and choose Combine. The Combine window will appear. Reorder the recorded clips as appropriate by dragging and dropping them, with the top-most item being the first. Give a name for the combined recording, and press the Combine button.
The Combine option can also be accessed via the Main Menu icon or by pressing the + key on your keyboard's number pad.
If you are capturing a lot of media from the internet (a playlist of songs for instance) then you may wish to use the Small Interface by clicking 
in the toolbar. The main interface will disappear and the Small Interface will appear. The progress of active recordings will appear in a movable box at the lower right of the screen. You can turn off this option in Settings -> Personalization -> "Display progress alerts when minimized". The Small interface can be dragged to different locations, and you can return to the Main Interface by clicking 
.
At any time you can change the default output folder that files are saved in by clicking 
in the toolbar. You can also change the location via Settings -> Output Folder.
Please consult the Settings sections on Audio Recording and Naming Rules.
Videos from some streaming websites cannot be directly downloaded or recorded using the Stream Capture method. For these cases, Replay Media Catcher 6 has a powerful Digital Video Recorder feature. In this mode, only one recording can be done at a time. From the Capture Method icon in the top right toolbar, choose Digital Video Recorder. The Digital Video Recorder feature is available on systems running Windows Vista and above.
As with the Stream Downloader capture mode, website URLs can be drag & dropped (or copy and pasted) into the URL Bar at the top of the RMC6 interface. The clipboard icon can also be used to paste in a URL that you have copied from a web browser. Then press the DVR button to the right in the URL bar. RMC6 will go to the site and attempt to make a recording of the video there. If the recording fails, you may need to use our DVR Browser to specifically start the recording, especially if login credentials are necessary.
Replay Media Catcher 6 includes a convenient web browser for making the digital video recording of online media easier. Additionally, some websites require patrons to login to an account in order to watch a video. To open the DVR Browser, click the globe icon in the toolbar 
. Our DVR Browser window will open with a convenient list of popular video streaming websites.
You can click on a thumbnail to go to the listed site, or you can enter a URL of your own choosing in the URL field. Reopening the DVR Browser will take you back to the last site you visited, and the 
Home button will return you to this main listing.
Once you have found a video and it is playing in the DVR Browser, click the 
REC button. The browser window will close, and a recording will be done in the background. In the lower left corner of the RMC6 interface, there will be a mini live view of the recording.
Note: RMC6 uses audio redirection by default, so there will be no audio. DVR recordings are meant to be done in the background, so there will be no audio playing in the DVR Browser or during an active recording. If you do hear audio from the video, then our audio redirection is not locked into the media or you have turned off the setting. Close and reopen the DV Browser. If you want to hear the audio while a recording is taking place, turn Off the Audio Redirection option in Settings -> DVR.
Additional options:
Recording Duration box at the top right of the DVR Browser window. Recordings will then ignore the silence detection routines (see Settings -> DVR). Be sure to include enough time for any commercial breaks.
DVR Browser Settings gear icon for recording to occur.RMC6's DVR includes methods to detect if there is silence during a recording. This typically indicates that a video has completed or that a commercial break has been encountered. By default, RMC6 will "split" a recording when silence is detected - a new recording will begin. This conveniently allows you to subsequently delete advertisements and only watch the content you are interested in. Recordings can then be recombined into a single video as previously described for audio recordings. The Split on silence feature can be disabled/enabled in Settings -> DVR. Additionally, if a longer period of silence is detected, RMC6 will completely stop the recording under the assumption that the video has completed. This "timeout" feature can be adjusted in Stop if no sound (sec) in Settings -> DVR. Please refer to the Settings section of this User Guide for more information.
Various Guides are available to help you find Videos, Music, Radio, and Podcasts to download and record.
Some guides provide the ability to download and schedule downloads directly from within the guide itself. Others require Internet monitoring or audio recording to be switched on to capture media as it plays in the guide.
Guides that allow direct downloads can have content scheduled for download or recording. Using the guide for Scheduling ensures correct information is entered into the Scheduler.
Replay Media Catcher contains a sophisticated scheduler, which allows you to schedule regular and unattended downloads and/or recordings. The scheduler takes into consideration the time zone of the source, and also handles changes in daylight savings between the source and you. This is particularly important for regular radio recordings.
Replay Media Catcher does not need to be running when a download or recording is scheduled. It will automatically start using the Windows Task Scheduler.
New Schedule icon: Click the New Schedule icon to create a new schedule from scratch, or use the Guides to get initial schedule information.
Save Schedule icon: The Save Schedule icon will only be active when there are changes to a schedule that have not yet been saved.
Delete Schedule icon: Deletes the selected schedule.
Run Now Schedule icon: Clicking Run Now will begin the selected schedule from the current time until the duration set in the Schedule options.
Import icon: The Import icon will allow you to import previously exported schedules.
Export icon: The Export icon will allow you to save a file to your computer containing all the details of your recording schedule.
You can configure a scheduled download or recording as follows:
Replay Media Catcher contains a sophisticated monitor, which allows you to monitor webcam and live stream pages so that you never miss a broadcast.
Start Monitors button: Click this button to start all enabled monitors.
New Monitor button: Click the New Monitor button to create a new monitor.Save Monitor button: The Save Monitor button will only be active when there are changes to a monitor that have not yet been saved.Delete Schedule button: Deletes the selected monitor.Import button: The Import button will allow you to import previously exported monitors.Export button: The Export button will allow you to save a file to your computer containing all the details of your monitors.You can configure the web page containing the webcam or live stream to monitor follows:
The Settings tab allows you customize the behavior of the software. All settings have tooltips when you hover your mouse over them, which will give an indication of their function. If you want to return to the default settings, press the 
Reset button at the right, under the main toolbar.
By default, your recordings will be placed into an Applian\Replay Media Catcher folder inside your Documents folder. You can easily change to a number of different common folders. If you have a "cloud" service installed, RMC6 will recognize it and provide that as a save location option as well. Links for three common cloud services are supplied if you wish to install them.
If you want a Custom location for saving the downloaded and recorded media, make sure the Custom radio button is selected. Then, at the bottom in the Output Folder field, enter the location you would like to save media to. You can also click on the ellipsis, "...", at the end of the line to bring up a folder navigator for choosing a location.
When you turn on the Auto mode for Stream Downloading, RMC6 will watch network traffic for data that looks like media. RMC6 does this using either the WinPcap Monitor or Applian Network Monitor driver. If you are not seeing any media being downloaded when Auto is ON, then you may need to switch to the other driver. WinPcap is the preferred driver due to fewer conflicts with other software, and Network Monitor is specifically recommended for downloading media over VPN connections.
Replay Media Catcher 6 uses a curly bracketed (aka braces) shorthand for naming files. This shorthand allows for easy naming of recordings based on a series of rules.
Track: {title} {album} {artist} {genre} {trackno} {year}
Date of the recording: {D} - day, {M} - month, {Y} - year, {H} - hour, {MI} - minute, {S} - second
{id} - Uid, the order in which the file was downloaded in the file listing. Clear the listing and restart to reset the Uid.
Folder Separator for creating subfolders: \
So, if you wanted a tagged file to be named by album, artist, and then title with underscores between, you might use {album}_{artist}_{title}.
If you wanted to put the tagged file into subfolders, artist first and then album, and include the track number, you could use {artist}\{album}\{trackno}-{title}.
If a recording is not automatically tagged, you might need to manually tag it for the file naming rules to apply. Right-click on the recording and choose Properties.
For media obtained via the Stream Downloader method, additional naming rules apply after the initial title is determined. Please refer to Advanced Settings for these site naming rules.

Selecting a preset from this drop down means that any download, recording or conversion started after the preset is changed will be converted to that format. If you don't wish for a conversion to occur, select Don't Convert, and you will see No Conversion Setting.
Conversions of media can either be done automatically, as mentioned above, or on-demand. To do an on-demand conversion, choose a conversion setting and then right-click on the media in the Home tab and select Convert. Alternately, if the media is already selected, you can choose Convert from the Main Menu . If you are scheduling a recording, you can set it up to automatically do a conversion (see Schedule for more information).
If you have a media file or files that you want to convert to MP3, you do not need to set a global conversion setting. Simply, select the files to be converted in the Home tab. Next, either right-click or use the Main menu to choose Save to MP3. Your selected files will then be converted to a high quality MP3.
You may have media from other sources that you would like to convert to a different format. First, import the media into RMC6. This can be done either via dragging & dropping the file from Windows onto the RMC6 file listing, or via the Main Menu Import option (Alt+i on the keyboard).
Note: Media imported into RMC6 will stay in its original location. Conversions of the media will be saved to the same location. The imported media will not be moved to the RMC6 Output Folder.
Then, select a conversion setting from the pulldown and choose Convert from the right-click or Main menu.

Downloading ads can be annoying. Enable Ad blocking, and video ads from the list of domains in the Ad Blocker will not be downloaded.
Type in the name of an ad serving domain and press the Add button. To no longer block a domain, select it from the listing and press the Delete button.
Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS) is an adaptive streaming protocol which means that the quality of the media displayed changes based on your internet connection. If you are encountering many HDS streams that fail to download, you may want to set RMC6 to record them all.
Audio and video streamed over the HTTP protocol is identified by the Content Type. You can add and remove Content Types and the associated File Extensions.
Reinstall FireFox HTTPS Scanner: Firefox updates sometimes delete our certificate for downloading over HTTPS. Click Reinstall to add the certificate again.
Some videos are available in multiple resolutions and qualities. The Video Page Extractor can search for the multiple video options and allow you to choose which you want to download. If you encounter a website that offers multiple resolutions (as determined by observing multiple versions being download in Auto mode) you can add the URL here.
Some videos are sent to your browser in multiple parts, requiring you to watch (nearly) the entire video for the whole video to be saved. In these cases, add the URL to the Supported Url listing, and RMC6 will attempt to grab all the parts at once and combine them into a single file.
Replay Media Catcher supports adding third party plug-ins like rtmpdump to handle the downloading of streams. If Replay Media Catcher cannot download or record a file, installing a plug-in can give it extended power.
In Auto mode, RMC6 will watch the listed ports and protocols for data that matches the HTTP media types in Advanced HTTP settings as well as HDS and RTMP streams.
Live FLV streams such as webcams sometimes send incorrect timestamps. This means the file created for the download plays back incorrectly. The following settings allow you to control how these are fixed.
Some sites that stream RTMP will also try and secure it with a technology called SWF Verification. It is illegal for our products to respond to SWF Verification requests so we ignore them. This will cause the server connection to then drop after a period of time. The following settings allow you to control how these secure streams are handled.
The RTMP protocol allows us to request the amount of data the server should send in each chunk. Requesting a large chunk means that in many instances the download will happen much faster than the playback speed. The following settings allow you to control how this Super Download feature works.

The Application recording mode requires Secure Boot to be disabled on Windows 8 systems. The benefit of the Application recording mode is that each audio source can be isolated, providing a clean recording. You can still recording in Stereo Mix mode without disabling Secure Boot, but then the recordings might overlap with other audio playing on your computer, such as system sounds. You will need to be careful to turn off system sounds and not have any other audio play during a recording.
You might want to print out these instructions or have them open on a mobile/secondary device since disabling Secure Boot involves restarting your computer. You might also want to bookmark this page to return to after disabling Secure Boot.
Here is a video walking through the steps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZcYbxOcPV0
Once Secure Boot is turned off, you will be able to use the Applications recording method to get clean recordings.
