Windows Sound Recorder (WXP-Home)

[Danja]

Is there a way to get rid of the 1 minute time limit in Windows Sound recorder?

The thread is referring to the sound recorder in Win98 but I am sure it will be the same for WinXP

Hi Metthew,
A quick method I use is when the Sound Recorder gets towards the end of its 60 second limit I left click towards the end of the recording time line. This gives you 20-30 more seconds of recording time. You just keep repeating until you have successfully recorded what you are after. HTH

Regards,

Phil

What I meant was perhaps there is some other Sound Recorder available as part of your Windows software (rather than using the normal Windows one).
As regards exending the normal Windows Recorder then you can either do as Phil suggested or you can set up a permanent template for 60 mins or whatever you want.

You simply record a blank (ie record with no sound playing), save it, call it up again, re-record another blank and so on. The blank gets longer each time. When you have got it as long as you need, save it as a template and make it read only to preserve it.

When you want a longer recording you just call up this template and it will run for whatever time you originally decided. Save your recording to another file.

Be aware that the template will be quite large (about 75 Meg for 60 mins if I remember rightly).
