I have a Windows XP computer where I've been suffering from this problem for many years. But, for the most part, turning off this newly available parameter fixes the problem about two-thirds of the time now. Now the problem is not completely solved, as there are still sites which have material which RMC insists on converting to mpeg. They created a toggle-able parameter which turns all HLS streams into one of these poor-quality mpeg files, and the way to prevent the mpeg corruption from happening is to switch the parameter to the off position. For example, there is a reference to this problem in the course of the discussion posted in 2013 at the specific person in that thread who discusses this problem call him or herself TheBang.Īnyway, recently, Replay Media Catcher finally fixed this problem. I've found quite a few references to this problem going back several years. Well, when RMC would go on this mpeg jag, it would change the video to mpeg 1/2 and the audio to mpeg 1/2 in fact, after such conversion, the audio would frequently suffer from some distortion. As most of you probably also know, the industry standard with most video streams and files these days is h.264 video and AAC audio. When that happened, it would also change the video and audio tracks.

At least half the time, it would unpredictably convert downloaded files to mpg files instead of downloading them un-converted/un-transcoded/un-re-processed. As many of you probably know, for years Replay Media Catcher had a significant problem downloading files properly.
