The Streaming Video Recorder will change the HTTP proxy to monitor all HTTP traffic from Internet to your computer and detect video file then download it.
After you launching Streaming Video Recorder and starting to record video, the program will register itself as the system proxy for Microsoft Windows Internet Services (WinInet), especially, the HTTP layer used by Internet Explorer and other browsers, or many other products like Microsoft Office. You can check that whether Streaming Video Recorder has correctly intercepted requests by checking the Proxy Settings dialog. From the Internet Explorer main menu >Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Setting, and finally click Advanced.
So if you close the Streaming Video Recorder incorrectly (e.g. Force shutdown, kill the Streaming Video Recorder process, Crash…), many of your software may could not access the internet any more.
In this case, there are two simple ways for you to retrieve internet access, as following:
1. Run the Streaming Video Recorder again, enable the Video Recorder, and then close the program correctly.
2. From the Internet Explorer main menu, click Tools > Internet Options > Connections > click LAN Setting, and uncheck the ‘Use a proxy server for you LAN’ option.
Usually, if you close the Streaming Video Recorder correctly, there aren’t any problems of your internet access.

How to record YouTube HD videos?
Download YouTube HD videos is so easy. Copy and Paste the YouTube video URL and then click Add to Download, the Streaming Video Recorder will ask you to choose your preferred video format to download, then you can select HD video format and click OK. 
Couldn't download videos from myvideo.de with video URL?
Because the myvideo.de has changed video transfer method, so we would suggest you to enable the Advanced Video Detector to download it.
Watch the myvideo.de video in the built-in web browser, and then the Streaming Video Recorder will detect the video stream (rtmp/rtmpe) and download it automatically.
And then you can right-click on the downloading item, and select Play while it is downloading.

- Start Firefox.
- Click Firefox -> Options

Why there is no sound while screen recording?
If you are using Windows Vista/7 and no sound has been recorded, please do these steps to fix it.
- Right click on the sound icon in the Notification Area and select 'Playback devices'.
- Is there a Apowersoft_AudioDevice in the Sound window?
If there is no Apowersoft_AudioDevice, I would suggest you to re-install it.
During installation, if the windows ask you "Would you like to install this device software?", please click Install button to install it.
The Virtual Sound Card is an important component for recording audio what you hear, so if it was not installed, the program will not run normally.
After installation, please right click on the sound icon in the Notification Area and select 'Playback devices', you will find there is a Apowersoft_AudioDevice.
- Start recording, does it record sound now? If it doesn't work still, switch to Playback tab, if the default sound playback device is not Speakers(Apowersoft_AudioDevice), please change it to Speakers(Apowersoft_AudioDevice) and then click OK button.
- I think it will work well now.
- Right-click on the volume icon and select "Adjust Audio Properties"
- Switch to Audio tab, if the default sound playback device is not Apowersoft_AudioDevice, please change it to Apowersoft_AudioDevice and then click OK button.
- Start to record.
Why the speaker icon shows black with an X next to it, and nothing records?
When I click the ON button in Record, the speaker icon shows black with an X next to it, and, of course, nothing records.
I have changed the speaker icon as you have directed, but that does not change the Record On button, even after rebooting and re-installing.
What is curious is that it worked earlier today with no problems whatsoever.
This symbol indicate now is silent(no sound from computer speakers or microphone).
You can disable the "Automatically skip silent passages in the process of recording" option to fix it. 
How to avoid hearing my voice as I talk though a microphone, and I'm recording with "system and microphone audio" both enabled at the same time?
If you want to record both system sound and microphone sound, you will hear your voice while recording, currently there is no good idea to resolve it.
But there are some suggestions to reduce the echo:
- Lower volume of speaker
- Move the microphone further away from the speaker
- If using a laptop microphone and speakers, try a headset instead. Since laptop microphone and speakers are fixed close together, they will usually cause echo and feedback.
