Also a thing: if you have a # in your filename (I think that was the symbol, yeah...), it won't save anyway due to a mp4box issue or something like that, IIRC.

In the file destination area, did you remember to type .mp4 after the title?

If you didn't, then it will just appear as a Unrecognized File that looks like a white Page Icon.

Just wondering if that's a possibility. If that is the case, however, then you might wanna try putting a .mp4 at the end of the file.

I remember looking for my files when I originally started doing it and couldn't find them. Then I found a file that was just like I described above that was named the same and it was about 50 megs or so. Then I remembered and put .mp4 at the end of the name and Boom, turned into a VLC file.

Anyway, just thought I would try and help. Sorry if this topic is rather old.
