• When you stop the recording, the file is
  automatically saved as a .wmv file to the folder
  you selected in Step 9
• These files upload easily to your wiki
• But Ive had trouble getting YouTube to accept
  them, so I have converted them to .mov files
  using a converter I purchased (very small fee)
