Thanks David

I see where I went wrong now - I tried to save it as an MPEG mp3 sound file.
It obviously cannot do that, I may suggest that as a future upgrade to the developers.

Looks like I have to save as WMA and transcode afterwards.
There are lots of free tools to do this - Google for 'convert wma mp3'

Cheers

Subject: [just-a-minute] VLC Tutorial

Streaming a show to your hard drive using VLC can be a little "complicated" the first time you do it. However, as with most things practice makes perfect.

Here is a tutorial that showed me how to do it:

http://stream-recorder.com/forum/record-wma-wmv-asf-streaming-mms-rtsp-t4789.html?s=2dfa2fc364a4768765c215cdd5375b34&

The weekly URL for Just a Minute ISIHAC etc is:

mms://wm.bbc.co.uk/wms/radio4fmcoyopa/radio_4_fm_-_monday_1830.wma

This may be useful for folks like me who are outside the UK.

Just a reminder that whichever format you use to save your files it will not improve the original quality of the file that you received. If you receive a low quality wma stream (like me) it will always stay like that. Of course I can make it worse by re-encoding it with a low bitrate.

I hope this is useful to folks.

Love, David
