Hi George and others.
Well, I did locate that file. No easy task though. The extension is (dot)
dvr-ms. Strange, isn't it? Apparently the type of file is known as ... a
microsoft recorded tv show. For four minutes of recording I have a file of
172 MB in size. Definitely not good.

Hi Peter,
Try looking in My Documents for a Folder called "My Videos".
That's where mine get stored by default. Mine are all WMV files.
You could also try looking in "My Recent Documents", which simply lists
"documents" of files you have last worked on.
George.
