The best luck I've had with  recording long webcasts  (1+hour meetings) is
using the swf recorder.  If I record the vnc format I usually run into the
editor problems below.

I didn't save the MP3, but I can try to regenerate one using Audacity.  I
have seen this failure before.  I'll ship you a copy once I reproduce it.

Not sure about this exact error.  I have had problems when i tried using vn=
c
format.  I can create another webcast and see if I can reproduce it.  If I
do, I'll try and send it your way.
