[bcab] Re: How do I stop Freecorder from picking up Jaws snippets?

Thanks Dave,

the odd thing is that it seems to do this sometimes, but not every time I turn 
on the recorder to pick up programmes, but it happens intermittently.  Perhaps 
what I might do is to arrange the destination folder for the recorded files in 
size order.  That way, the largest ones will all be together, and they will be 
the ones I want.  I could then rename them, and then delete the rest en bloc.  
It is a bit of a pain though, as is the fact that when I activate the record 
function it says "Freecorder dialogue", but doesn't show what the question is, 
either in Jaws or PC mode.

It's a handy little programme when it works well though, but I haven't the 
faintest whether or not it's the best, or the most usable of its kind, as I've 
only just started recording from the internet, and this is the only tool I've 
used to do it.  

Best,
Clive

Best,
Clive

  I'm just looking at the freecorder program, and it looks to me as if it works 
by capturing any sound which comes out of the computer, rather annoying really. 
I suspect messing about with the windows volume controls may well cause more 
problems than it solves.
  I'll continue playing with it, but bare in mind that I've never used it 
before.

    Hi Dave,

    pardon my ignorance, but please can you remind me where I should find 
Volume control?  is this part of the Freecorder programme or part of my systems 
settings.  Keystroke commands will be helpful.

    Thanks,
    Clive

      You'll probably have this problem whichever program you use. When 
recording, you've probably got your sound card set to record What you hear.
      You need to go into volume control to check whether this is the case, and 
you may get away with setting it to wav. If you record what you hear, then jaws 
will be recorded, as it captures any sound from your sound crd.

        Hi all,

        I am using Freecorder to record listen again programmes from the BBC.  
I'm getting the programms, but it's also capturing and saving loads of unwanted 
files, containing small chunks of Jaws speech.  Thankfully, I usually get the 
programme I want, but I have to fish for it among several hundred downloads.  
How do I set the programme so that I can get the programme I want to record, 
but can also use Jaws to multi-task, without the Jaws speech snippets  landing 
in my inbox.  I also have to say that when I activate Freecorder by selecting 
"Record" from the toolbar, I get a dialog box but can't see the question it's 
trying to ask me, whether I'm in Jaws or PC mode.

        Final question: if this is going to be a recurring problem with 
Freecorder, can anybody  recommend a more blind-user-friendly programme to do 
the same job?

        Thanks,
        Clive
