  • Ok. I have an issue. Freecorder is recording my program in sections. So instead of 1 continuous program my program is coming across in segments that range from 17 kb to almost 13 mb. I went into the settings area (the wrench icon) and upped my video capture settings to 192222 - some random number larger than 500 mb. No difference was mad. Do you have any suggestions for me, or how to get all these pieces and parts to assemble into one whole file? Thanks

  • P.S. I'm using Freecorder 3 for some reason.

    maybe because for free you get an earlier version.

  • What about google chrome?

  • how do you use converter please help i need to know i downloaded it i just need to know

  • very easy is one of my favorite videoconverter.

  • this is a good software but it includes dubious programs like Conduit and the irritating Searchcompletion which i suggest you do not use.

  • @Gurizin It's easy enough to adjust the install to ensure you only get what you want. :)

  • what shall i do? my toolbar doesnt show up? please help :/

  • @EvansProductions4 What browser are you using? And did you try restarting your browser? If firefox make sure that you are updating the add ons. Let me know if that helps.

  • I just got the recent update. Did the Record Audio recording tool change drastically? Because I just checked today and the design looks drastically different and too complex.

  • @sega310982 Hi - can you tell me what version you currently have. You can tell by going to the free corder logo on the toolbar and clicking on it. What does it say?

  • @sega310982 No - not yet. We are working on a new release but the audio tool is still essentially the same. And it is also super easy to use.

  • When I click on the audio record button a window never pops up and yes I double checked setting to make sure that option was clicked on. And I have pop ups enabled please help when free. :<

  • @grinningfox - Can you tell me what browser you are using?

  • @grinningfox Please be sure to start the audio recorder before browsing to and playing the audio that you’d like it to record. The audio recorder needs to be started first. If you’re using Windows Vista, be sure to enable the Windows Vista Audio driver in Freecorder’s audio capture settings.

  • hey i am having problem when i click on the video icon from toolbar.......it says please reinstall your freecorder toolbar........help me i use this tool before and i love it....

  • @TheRockyrapper Hey sorry you are having a bit of trouble. Best thing is to get tech support involved. You can reach them by going to the applian technologies website and clicking on the support tab and then following the links to freecorder. they will help you get everything up and running again in no time.

  • i cant remove the toolbar from freecorder 4 help :(

  • @b4DMang0 Please go to the applian website - there are instructions on how to uninstall if you are having issues - go to Support/technical support/Freecorder/FAQ I hope that helps.

  • I dont know how to add videos to the converter!!TELL ME!!! I want to convert a video but i dont know how to add it into the converter

  • @Hillybillytomahawk Freecorder 5 will convert audio and video files downloaded by Freecorder 5. If you are trying to convert a video that was downloaded by another program it won't be able to. We are just days away from releasing Freecorder 6 which will allow you to add files from your PC to the converter - stay tuned for that.

  • Does it work with chrome??

  • @ElleKidger We are working on a version for Chrome - should be out shortly. Stay tuned. :)

  • @ElleKidger I keep replying - we are working on a Chrome version - should be out shortly - sorry.

  • @p3r0uE Please make sure the toolbar is enabled in the browsers add ons. Clear your browsers cache. If you still don't see the toolbar,

    make sure that you have administrative rights and that you disable any anti virus software you are running while installing Freecorder.

  • doesnt work on firefox 8

  • @pumperking Yes it does. Freecorder will work in Firefox 8. Please make sure that you clear your browsers cache. Also, in Firefox, go to add ons and make sure Freecorder is enabled. Hope that helps.

  • cool i got it, i had it for a wile! but i am having problems with it, so i wanted to ask you! does the toolbar you got uninstall it self often? because mine does, and now i cant un-install the program.. to install it again, i lost the tool bar and without it i doubt i can record any videos.

  • @almasdp I have never heard this issue. It does sound like you need to open a support ticket.Go to the applian home page and find the Support tab across the top of the home page and then click on product technical support for Freecorder. I hope that helps.

  • how do i find it i dounloded it and it is not there

  • @hicarbut Hi there - Sounds like you need to try to uninstall and reinstall. Better still contact our tech support - just visit the applian home page and go to the Support tab across the top of the home page and then click on product technical support for Freecorder. I hope that helps.

  • this not illegal or anything ??? /:

  • @Caaaaaameron Our products fall in the same category as VCR's, TiVo Digital Video Recorders (DVR's), Tape Recorders, CD Burners, iPods, and other popular consumer devices. All Applian products record streaming media not protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management), and are fully compliant with all copyright laws, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. (Only 1% of all online video and audio is DRM protected.)

  • it doesnt work on firefox 8 :S

  • @sindhikiller Hi - I contacted tech support for you. Here is what they wrote: Freecorder does work with Firefox 8. They probably have another program conflicting with Freecorder. They can open a support ticket. They can try first though to clear their cache.

    Does this help?

  • Great I just downloaded free coder 5

  • rookie question, but if i have a macbook pro is there any way i can use this?

  • @Bodybypt Alas - no. BUT we do make a Mac product that will download and convert Youtube videos for FREE in demo mode - it's called Jaksta for Mac. You can just download the demo and use it that way - don't need to pay. Hope that helps. And no such thing as a "rookie question" :)

  • Thank you so much, this great!

  • does anyone tried to watch TV? when i click on it it says a plugin is needed to display this content..

  • @ShadowACS Not true.

  • @Residew I'm not lying. The program installed an adware called "PriceGong" on my system after I downloaded it. It kept giving me stupid suggestions of unrelated crap whenever I searched for certain brand names on any search engine. Also, it took me like two hours to uninstall it.

    I honestly think it's sad that a program that works so flawlessly as this one has spyware attached. Applian could make a fortune if they just took the ads off and charged like 2 bucks for installation.

  • Anyone know why it isn't saving my recently watched videos?

  • 1:08 balls dropped finnaly

  • @ShadowACS I'd recommend always downloading directly from the Applian.com website and avoid downloading from other sources.

  • god damn it it dose not convert to WAV that the only reson i got it

  • @ShadowACS I am sorry you are having trouble. I think your best option is to ask tech support for help. You can reach them on our website by clicking the support tab and finding product technical support for Freecorder. They can help you identify your issue and solve it for you.

  • @ApplianTechnologies thank you for your obviously copy-pasted response. Does that explain why I was getting ads popping up trying to sell me stupid crap whenever I used a search engine? Or how about the fact that plenty of other reviews of this product claim that it was spyware as well?

  • @halfingr I am sorry you are having trouble. I think your best option is to ask tech support for help. You can reach them on our website by clicking the support tab and finding product technical support for Freecorder. They can help you identify your issue and solve it for you.

  • How do you enable it to record from the microphone on a laptop? (The microphones are enabled)

  • The same thing happened to me what FattyMcLoudMouth is explaining

  • I used this program to make a weekly video version of the Billboard Country chart. But I got to the point where I couldnt convert the flv videos to avi videos. Which was a big problem. I had to quit making my videos because of this :-/

  • @FattyMcLoudmouth Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? The last update should have resolved this issue.

  • @ApplianTechnologies When the problem happened I actually upgraded from 4 to 5 but still had the same problem. Granted this was atleast a month ago. Has there been an update since?

  • This software can't record any video/movie?

  • @adriansprints Freecorder 4 makes it easy to save video and audio from the web. Check out the site for more info!

  • No more downloading my music :)

  • will there be google chrome support? sorry if it's already answered

  • @TheCuccillo No problem, ask away! Currently Freecorder 4 only works within your Internet Explorer or Firefox browser. However, we are always interested in gauging the demand for Chrome.

  • can this cause virus?

  • @HAAIxM0BK No, Freecorder is virus-free; enjoy!

  • Ok well my convert tool works fine, but once I have saved and converted a video it loads into where I want it, but not the whole file just the first 3-4 seconds or so :/ Please help!

  • @cassiemyclyde Wait till the whole video has loaded fully, worked for me :)

  • @Bayliss95 Thankyou :-)

  • @cassiemyclyde No problem :)

  • @cassiemyclyde Please submit a support request at the URL listed under the video; thanks!

  • ive been trying alot of these youtube to mp3 downloaders and non are working, if im correct there was a youtube update which has fucked us up?

  • All of a sudden my Downloader is having some problems capturing videos. And my converter has pretty much stopped working altogether.. It will start the conversions and then two seconds later it will say "finished converting" when it didn't do anything at all...

  • Thumbs up if this didn't work.

    T_T

  • wtf mine is not working i used 2 TIMES!

  • Has anyone been having trouble with the You Tube download wizard within the last day or so? Mine is only giving me About; dload an FLV player; and report a prob - no more video parameters.

  • @ColetteDanielle ehh we're on the same boat. can someone please offer an explanation for this? is it really just that they're having an update or what? btw i got mine for free

  • I have a few problems. A.) Whenever I try to use a tool on my toolbar, it takes me to your page in order to download the newest Freecorder, when I already have it. It's very annoying. B.) The converter tool isn't working. At first, I thought it was something wrong with my computer, but it appears that I'm not the only one with that problem. Any news on that getting fixed? Thanks.

  • Forums are down and it doesnt work on eroprofile as advertised

  • I loved this programme, converted loads of songs onto iTunes. But one day i went to convert another song and it just wouldnt show up in my 'convert tool' window? PLEASE HELP!

  • @Bayliss95 Hi, thanks for your comment. We've heard of a couple recent cases where people are experiencing issues with the convert tool, so we are looking into it.

  • Convert function is broken for some strange reason. At least for mine.

  • @sega31098 We're looking into it; hope to have an update on the situation soon.

  • how do you get files into the converter? :|

  • @6double1agent6 Do you see the Convert button? Once you click it, a window appears with a list of your recorded files. Click the check box next to each file you want to convert.

  • @ApplianTechnologies The files don't show up there. I think it has to do with the same problem that causes the "reinstall toolbar error." But I've done that and made an exception in my firewall though I still get the error.

  • @6double1agent6 In that case, please create a support ticket at applian[dot]com/freecorder4/su­pport/. Thanks!

  • Except, when I downloaded Freecorder 4, it no longer works - I hit the history icon and get the error message "The FreeCorder FLV Service is not running. Please re-install the Freecorder Toolbar". (I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling -- to no avail).

  • @Worried57 If you've re-installed and you still get this error, it is likely due to security software on your computer that is blocking the FLVSrvce from starting. The Freecorder Toolbar is safe and virus free, so it is safe to have your security software allow access to FLVSrvce.exe.

  • Okay, I love this program - I downloaded it on my computer and it worked perfectly - I was able to download videos, etc... then I got a bug in my boot driver, and one day when I restarted my computer, it wouldn't boot up. Long story short, I had to completely re-install my XP operating system. I have been going back, downloading some of my favorite programs/installing updates/getting my computer back to how it was before the s%#$ hit the fan...

  • Take contac t me, if you have firefox 5 than freecorder not can use with firefox 5 and i can help you:)

  • I've just installed Firefox 5 so that i could use this, but it doesnt seem to work! The Freecorder toolbar doesnt appear in the browser:( does it not work with firefox 5???

  • @lost4wordss Freecorder does work with Firefox 5. However, we have heard a couple reports of people having trouble with installation, so we're releasing a new build up ASAP.

  • what is the name for the movie widget!? this is amazing thanks!:D

  • @thefarewell look at the title....

  • @MinecraftAdventur3s It should definitely show in IE. Perhaps try reinstalling?

  • when i record something from youtube like the song "PENDULUM 'the island' Remix" would i be able to put this song from where i saved the recording to my youtube Intro i just made??? please answer?:[

  • @MrButtnugget851 No, IE and Firefox at the moment.

  • ok found out on other sites the convert tool works fine but no video on Youtube seems to want to convert to wmv anymore is there a workaround

  • Anyone who reads my comment on this video and has an idea on how to help me please post me a comment on my channel

  • For some reason since yesterday the convert tool on the toolbar doesn't work anymore tried to convert several times to wmv and it acts like its going to do it but it finishes within 2 seconds then it says its done so I check the converted folder nothing is there with the file name I gave it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it no luck this used to be a great program

  • This program caused major problems to my computer as soon as I installed it (very slow and freezing). I recommend people avoid it.

  • @MelbourneMr Sorry to hear that--we assure you that shouldn't be the case!

  • my toolbar isnt showing

    

  • @roctownangel Please submit a support ticket through the Freecorder site. Thank you.

  • Everytime I install this it worked. But know, why doesn't the freecorder toolbar show up? it's just blank in my toolbar. If there is a solution to my problem that would be really helpfull.

  • @argon32155 Please submit a support ticket through the Freecorder site. Thank you.

  • does it work for google chrome?

  • @chunlaira No, sorry! IE and/or Firefox.

  • Curious is their another download for mac? Or is it only for windows ? I love the software and does an excellent job in ripping the files I want without any hassle in youtube or any other website with a video content within it. If not then could you please tell one format I could use please

  • @DragonFilmsSeattle It's only for Windows, but you might want to check out Parallels--have you heard of it? All Applian recording products work in Windows on a Mac.

  • @ApplianTechnologies Yes I have heard of it however the problem is that it want me to spend a lot of money just to be able to convert simple videos I want and or need. Is a nice software you speak of changing into making windows compatible with my mac but I don't have 80 bucks just laying around my place thx anyway

  • does it works with google chrome? please answer

  • @CuteWeirdGirl309 No, sorry! IE and/or Firefox. 

  • Doesn't work with Firefox 4 :-(

  • @HarveyMushman85 We'll look into it; it should!

  • @ApplianTechnologies

    To save you from unnecessary work, i got it to work. Since Firefox 4.0.1 it does work just fine, at least for me.

  • @HarveyMushman85 Why thank you! Glad it's working.

  • @HarveyMushman85 bastard you stole my name!

  • @Mushman15

    I think you are confusing me with someone who gives a damn!

  • why does every review tell how this software contains spyware and trojans?

  • @strawbongwae Some security software is understandably responsible for blocking any file that can read or save your browsing history. In this case, FLVSrvce.exe is a file used by Freecorder that allows the video history tool to save videos you’ve played from your computer’s cache. Some antivirus software tries to stop it, but it's safe to allow access.

  • how come the converted videos are 3 times the size of its file size?!

  • @Spec0pleader Ah, it can depend on the file types. What are you going from, and what are you converting to?

  • Comment removed

  • I hope in the future it would work with google chrome, It would be better.

  • @argon32155 Thanks for the feedback!

  • @argon32155 I second that!

  • @xArmy0fOneAznx Could you please provide more detail? Did you download Freecorder directly from the site?

  • nevermind, i figured it out, thanksss

  • Comment removed

  • WTF is "Freecorder FLV Service"? it keep coming up as not running ask me to reinstll whole shit

  • @thanatonaute24 evn i've got same problem

  • @thanatonaute24 Ah, do you have security software? It's likely trying to block a certain (non-malicious) file. Check out the Freecorder 4 site, FAQ section.

  • Problem is it cuts off too early when someone talks, and sound files end up with half a word unpronounced, there should be a setting to continuously record.

  • Well it works... kind of. It crashes several programs before the damn thing even starts up. Programs include Windows Explorer, Google Desktop, and even the taskbar disappeared on one occasion. Very unstable software.

  • can i record parts of videos with freecorder? or only the whole video? (f.e i dont want to record a whole 5minute youtube video, i only want 30seconds from it, can i do that?)

  • @mspolishbaby Only the whole video.

  • freemake is a better software but its limited to 40 specific sites to download from

  • The software works great with no viruses but the problems i have is that when i open a video from a site its downloading the same file double or triple times when i check in the video history box and im not able to cancel the duplicate files. if u can see in this video that slumdog millionarire is downloading triple times so the download speed reduces and also internet bill soares up because instead of downloading one 40mb file(for example) it downloads 3 same files for 120 mb

  • @shankarramrajasekar Oh no! Please submit a support request ticket: applian[dot]com/freecorder4/su­pport/

  • is this unavailable for Google Chrome? I see that the end result is a toolbar, and I believe that Chrome doesn't have toolbars.

  • @leelokyan1923 Right - IE and Firefox.

  • shitty malware

  • @demon212 Freecorder is safe and virus-free, don't worry!

  • the converter is useless

  • whats the name of the app you use to stream movies?

  • yeah and if you download this your computer will be infected with shopperreports which will infect it with the most anoying pop ups in the world ever, and you will want to take a light weight ball peen hammer and smash it the best you can. then move up to a larger hammer such as a 3.5lb club for any bits missed. after that a base ball bat and finally petrol and a match followed by a beer and a b&h gold.

  • i didnt get the tool bar... :/

  • are you boy or girl?

  • Does it contain Pricegong male-ware like previous versions?

  • When I click on the little "file" icon on the toolbar that let's me see what I've recorded, I get an error message saying that the location is unavailable.

  • @6235river Please go ahead and submit a technical support ticket at applian[dot]com/freecorder4/su­pport/; thanks!

  • If you have a Spyware/Addware problem after downloading this.

    Disable the Web browser Add-on: "Conduit" or "PCCBHO.CPCCBHO" in Internet Explorer.

    this should stop the Pop ups from appearing.

  • hot voice thats what made me download it.

  • omg his voice :D

  • my toolbar is not on my browser

  • @cody1795 Which browser are you using? 

  • @ApplianTechnologies does it work in Chrome?

  • @tornadomad Just IE or Firefox at the moment.

  • Freecorder gave my cpu AIDS

  • This thing gave me spyware btw...

  • I can't watch youtube video's (they won't load), my pages take ages to load, .. and it all started from when I downlaoded this f*cked up toolbar sh*t!!!

    don't download it! f*cking sh*tprogram!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @KeanuNzuuu man really? please answer back because i am about to download it, but if that's the case i absolutely wont!

  • @mrg3org3 yeh, trough this toolbar a hacker got onto my internetports, he uploaded my frequency from my computer to his computer, so my download limit was full and he could download more...

  • @KeanuNzuuu oh damn, thanks for letting me know man..

  • @mrg3org3 It IS a awesome toolbar tho.. if there were no hackers who could steal your itnernet trough it it probably would be my most favorite program...

    I downloaded alot of undownloadable songs, podcasts, etc.. so yeh :s

  • My Freecorder Toolbar is unable to record any video, not even Youtube videos. It happened, I think a few weeks ago. Before that happen, everything works smoothly. Please help. Thanks =)

  • P.S. (4got to put this in too) it got rid of the search enginue so the only thing in your toolbar is the toolbar 4 freecorder. T.T

  • freecorder jack up my brother's enternet. it change his homepage to bing and he really hates bing.does any one know howto change everything back before u download this?please help >.<

  • Warning, AVG found a virus when I tried to install it. Be careful.

  • @ReikaSakurai Some security software is understandably responsible for blocking any file that can read or save your browsing history, but the Freecorder Toolbar is safe and virus free, so it is safe to have your security software allow access to FLVSrvce.exe.

  • is it virus free and checked for viruses
