#REPLAY MEDIA CATCHER YOUTUBE SOFTWARE#

So Google would rather you didn't know, but with Applian Technologies' suite of software you can download files directly, or record streams in real time. You can search and find videos right from its interface. Dettering's company, for example, is forbidden from advertising its software using Google's AdSense and Adwords services вЂ“ and this site, MakeUseOf, was recently asked by the AdSense team to remove ads from any pages discussing YouTube or music downloading services. Replay Media Catcher is a really powerful application for video lovers that will grant you the possibility to download videos from any website in just one click. Google, which owns YouTube, hasn't attempted to enforce this part of their terms by banning users or sending out legal notices вЂ“ but they're not doing nothing. Should people who download YouTube videos be worried about this? Hardly any videos display such a link, yet downloading videos with the help of third-party tools is common. 'You shall not download any Content unless you see a 'download' or similar link displayed by YouTube,' says the YouTube Terms of Service.

It's faster, in such cases, to download a file than to record the stream in real time, DVR-style.Д«ut is downloading videos directly from, say, YouTube's servers legally permissible? YouTube's terms of service certainly discourages users from doing so. YouTube, for example, doesn't encrypt its videos, so with the right tools they're easy to download directly. Of course, there are plenty of sites that offer media without encryption.

So far as they can tell, he explains, you're just watching a TV show or movie. 'If you're using Replay Video Capture, there's no way for an ISP or anyone to tell what you're doing,' says Dettering.

'It's like having an HD DVR for anything playing on your PC screen,' says Dettering.ДЄnother advantage of this approach: it's untraceable. You're just recording what you're already seeing, the same way that a DVR records a TV station you already have access to. That's where recording your screen comes in: this isn't breaking encryption. Doing so requires breaking encryption, and as such would be in direct violation of the law. This is why Applian, which is based in the US, doesn't offer direct downloading of files from Netflix or Hulu. 'The DMCA says you're not allowed to break encryption to record something,' says Dettering. But there are limits to this freedom, and in the United States they're outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The DVR clearly falls under personal use: you're recording a TV show so that you can watch it later. This means that if you record something, but don't share it with others or attempt to sell it, you're within your rights. 'Copyright laws are pretty clear that you're allowed to record for your own personal use,' says Bill Dettering, CEO of Applian Technologies.

It records TV you already have access to, and allows you to play it back later. I'm still trying to understand what all it does during installation.Does this sound legally questionable to you? Let's get back to the DVR. I am still pondering whether I want to pay for Tunebite. Fortunately, I made a Windows restore point before installing Tunebite and then invoked that restore point to put everything back the way it was. That's a little disconcerting on a four-week-old Dell computer. It was rather unnerving when it kept telling me it was deleting old files and programs and updating them with new ones. Yikes, you would think your were installing Microsoft Office. Then there was that unusually long installation routine Tunebite went through. On the down side, I also noticed a lot of disgruntled users on Tunebite's forums with version 7, which seems to have a lot of bugs, with little help from support. It worked right off, recording anything I heard through the speakers, along with the video.

So, I finally tried the trial version of Tunebite.

#REPLAY MEDIA CATCHER YOUTUBE DRIVER#

The issue may also be partly caused by the driver of your sound card, in my case a Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme. In doing some research, seems a lot of people are having this problem with Windows 7, which doesn't give you the same options in the the control panels audio settings or device manager, like there was in XP or Vista. However, none of my old software could record 'what you hear' audio, including ACA Capture Pro. It did a decent enough job.ДЇast forward: My computer's motherboard died, and I wound up with a new Dell computer with Windows 7. This was a screen capture, not a download. I was eventually able to record that Outer Limits video with ACA Capture Pro.
