    I only really need something like this to get short samples for music or memes or what not so it works acceptably, I guess. It claims to be able to record audio and video, which I took to mean there are options, but there are not. it's only corrupted webm files with no options to edit or even pause the recording.
    I take the video files and then rip the audio from them using virtual DJ, but that really shouldn't be a necessary step

    Works great on short videos (a few minutes long). But on long videos, it records all the way through to the end, but when you click the Download button, it processes for a very long time, then just stops, and there's no way to make it do anything, or get the video. I tried 2 videos of about 1 hour length, one on Youtube and one on another website, with the same result.

    Yeah, I will have to change that. It is like that, because to insert the "duration tag", we need to decode the entire video first and, for long videos, that's obviously going to take a while (or crash).

    I recommend that you open the video in preview, and save it from there (with right click -> save video as).

    EDIT: this should be "fixed". It will give you an error message, but you will be able to download the file, although it will not have the duration metadata.
