9 Recording and playback
Scream! allows you to record all incoming data and store it on the
local hard disk. To do this, you should select the streams you want to
record from Scream!'s main window, right-click, and choose Start
recording from the pop-up menu. The streams will display Yes in the
Rec. column to indicate that they are recording.
When Scream! starts recording, it starts at the earliest point in the
current stream buffer, and immediately records all the data that it can.
For continuous streams, the recorder will soon catch up with the
real-time data.
If there is a gap in a stream (e.g. because you are using adaptive mode:
see Section 8.5.6 on page 98), Scream! will delay recording that stream
until the gap is filled. If the gap reaches the end of the stream buffer
before data are transmitted to fill it, Scream! will give up and begin
recording data from after the gap.
By default, recorded data are placed in a data directory within the
Scream! installation directory, in GCF format. Scream! records files
for each stream separately, which it puts in that stream's own
directory. This directory may contain one or several GCF files.
Scream! has a number of options which allow you to change the way
data are recorded and filed. From the main window, select Setup…
from the File menu to open the Setup window. Click on the Recording
tab.
