How high the recording speed will go depends on the remote server available bandwidth. In most cases 3 to 5 Mbps can be achieved on cable connections. Turbo Mode works for On Demand (pre-recorded) streams and should only be utilized with cable connections or DSL connections higher than 256 Kbps.
• New Mirror Recording Mode - This mode allows recording while mirroring the Real Player play. In this mode the Real Player needs to be active for the entire duration of recording. The Mirror mode should be used for overloaded web sites with reduced bandwidth capability, like Live broadcasts.

• New Reprocess File function - To fix recording errors use the Reprocess File option. File errors that can be fixed are offset, timing, codecs and indexing errors.

To access this function right click the file name in the PLAY window.

• Audio Extraction - The audio track of a video file can be extracted in Real Player format. The extracted files can be split and merged.
