4 Documentaries That Will Change the Way You Think About Planet Earth

Posted | Category: How To, Netflix, Replay Capture Suite.

During these the past few months, there was a shared, global surge in awareness about the impact that humans have on the planet. With significantly lower levels of air pollution in main city centres such as Paris, Beijing and New York, the ability to witness bioluminescence in oceans, and the return of wildlife back to cities, humans’ impact on the planet has never been more apparent. For those of us who are most curious about the flora and fauna of the planet, we’ve corralled 4 documentaries that you simply must watch — they will truly change the way you think about the earth!

Night on Earth

There just isn’t another documentary out there that comes even close to Night on Earth. With the help of state-of-the-art technology, the docuseries takes us from the African Savanna to the Peruvian desert to show us the lives of predators and prey, and how closely they are linked to the moon’s cycles. Shot completely during nighttime hours, you will often forget that the images on-screen were recorded in complete darkness. Let Night on Earth lift the veil of the night’s darkness and discover a whole other world you’ve never seen.

Chasing Coral

It was just a few years ago that we began to take notice about experts’ warnings regarding the disappearing coral in our oceans. The scientific community has found that warmer water temperatures can result in coral bleaching — an unfortunate phenomenon that takes place when the water is too warm and corals expel the algae (zooxanthellae) that lives in their tissues, causing the coral to turn completely white. While a bleached coral is not dead, and in fact corals can survive a bleaching event, they are under more stress and are at risk of dying. With that in mind, Chasing Coral is about a team of divers, scientists and photographers around the world who document the disappearance of coral reefs, providing an eye-opening look at the often irreversible human impact on the planet.

The Ivory Game

In this saddening look at the illegal ivory trade in China and Hong Kong, The Ivory Game directors Keif Davidson, Richard Ladkani and their crew spend 16 months undercover to investigate the killing of elephants for their tusks and the smuggling of ivory to China. While the trade is illegal, there is a thriving black market where corrupt business practices and dealings occur, constantly feeding the demand for ivory in China and Hong Kong, where it is seen as a status symbol. The film takes viewers from Tanzania, Kenya, and Zambia to China, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, with a brief stop in London.

A Plastic Ocean

Award-winning documentary, A Plastic Ocean, is an adventure film that was shot in more than 20 locations over the span of four years. Explorers Craig Leeson and Tanya Streeter plus a team of international scientists explore the fragile state of our oceans to reveal the alarming causes and consequences of plastic pollution, while sharing working solutions that can be put into immediate effect.

How to Learn a Language Online

Posted | Category: Google Hangouts, How To, Online Classes, Replay Telecorder, Skype.

So, you want to study a language? Whether you’re starting from zero or brushing up on what you already know, taking your language learning online is a convenient and efficient way to achieve fluency from the comfort of wherever you are. What’s more, with an online learning setup, you don’t have to worry about spending a great deal of time finding a teacher with the right profile for the language you want to  study.

Online classes can be scheduled whenever suits you best, and with the help of Replay Telecorder, you can record your classes as you go and review them as needed. You’ll be well on your way to greater fluency in no time.

With that covered, let’s get you started on your online language learning journey with a few helpful tips to hit the ground running.

Choose an Online Language Learning Platform

With the growing popularity of online learning, there are many language learning platforms to choose from. However, there’s one that stands  out in terms of pricing, quality and the overall user experience of the platform:  iTalki. Unlike many other platforms out there, iTalki’s offerings are impressive — everything from Punjabi to Slovenian to Vietnamese. The possibilities here are endless. On iTalki, you can view a teacher’s profile, which typically includes a video introduction, CV and more information, before signing up. There are plenty of student reviews for most teachers, which shows that students are engaged with the platform. Plus, before you buy a pack of classes, nearly all teachers offer a one-time trial class to let you meet and decide whether their teaching style works for you.

Decide Which Language You’d Like to Study

Once you’ve created an account and acquainted yourself with the iTalki platform, next you’ll need to decide which language you’d like to learn. Have something specific in mind? Perhaps you need to learn or brush up on your language skills for school or work, or you may have the luxury of choosing whichever language strikes your interest. If you fall into the latter group, one good way to narrow the choices down is to think about whether a particular language might come in handy for your personal travels. For example, if you’re planning a backpacking trip to South America in the near future, Spanish would be the logical choice. However, if you’re eyeing a trip to the Great Wall of China, Mandarin would be sure to help you out!

Find a Teacher Whose Profile Matches Your Needs

After landing on the language of study, next you’ll need to find a teacher whose profile interests you, and more importantly, meets your needs. On a teacher’s online profile you are able to view their reviews and professional experience. So, for example, if your goal is to master grammar in a given language, it may be a better idea to choose a teacher who has at least a Bachelor or even a Master degree in that language. Or, if you are a complete beginner, try to find a teacher that has a degree or equivalent experience in teaching that particular language as a foreign / second language.

Otherwise, if you’re looking for a more engaged conversation partner for example, who will be diligent about correcting mistakes and encourage you to speak, the qualifications likely won’t matter as much as their personality!

Start Your Classes!

It goes without saying that once you know which language you’d like to study and have secured a teacher, it’s time to get learning! Most teachers prefer leading classes over Skype or Google Hangouts, allowing you to connect more closely than you could over a telephone call, while taking part in both oral and written exercises throughout the class.

And, to speed up your language learning, add Replay Telecorder to your arsenal! It’s the easiest, most powerful Skype and Google Hangouts recorder on the market that lets you record your classes, so that you can review the lessons afterwards to really solidify your learning! The best part is that it comes with a handy feature known as ‘Background Mode’, which automatically detects your Skype or Google Hangouts window, even allowing you to cover it with other windows without affecting the recording. With Replay Telecorder you can remain fully engaged in class without worrying about missing a thing.

Getting started is easy. Register for online language classes today, and then make sure you have the latest version of Replay Telecorder, so that you can save the most important lessons for later. With the right tools, you’ll be mastering the language of your choice faster than you can count!

How to Create a Montage of Your Favorite Travel Videos

Posted | Category: How To, Replay Media Catcher, Replay Media Splitter, Video.

Many of us have a bucket list of places that we’d like to visit in the future. Little by little, when we get the chance to travel, we can cross off a dream destination on that list. While unrestricted international travel is not a possibility currently, looking back on the video footage we’ve captured during past trips can give us something to look forward to for future travels. 

If you’ve ever considered putting your video footage together in a more creative way, a video montage is a great option — it allows you to create a digital entry in your virtual book of memories that can be easily shared with others. 

But, how to get started with the process? Below you’ll find a few of our tips and tricks for putting together a professional-quality travel video montage in no time!

1. Place all of your video footage in one convenient location

Devoting time to placing all of your video footage in one well-organized place will help you to work more efficiently as you move through the project. Create a designated project folder on your desktop — or a preferred location on your computer that is easily accessible  — where you can work from. Move all the video files that you wish to work with here.

Next, make sure that the title of each video is descriptive enough that you know, without needing to open and view the file each time, what the clip includes. If at this point you have a general idea of the sequence that you would like to arrange the videos in, you can also include a number in the video title.

2. Find online video content to complement your own

Once you have moved and organized your video files into the project folder, you may notice that some of these videos end abruptly or that the quality varies from video to video. If that’s the case, YouTube is a great place to find “filler” content, or content that will complement your own. There you will find countless travel videos differing in duration, style and language — you’re bound to find something that will fit right in with your own footage!

To add these videos to your project folder, look no further than Replay Media Catcher, the fastest and most powerful online media recorder of its kind. With the program installed, all you have to do is play an online YouTube video and a copy is downloaded to your computer. It’s that simple!

3. Compile and edit your video montage like a pro

Finally, once you have all of the files you need — from both your personal collection and online — you can get started on the fun part: getting your hands dirty and creating the montage itself! With Replay Media Splitter, the task is as easy as it gets and you get professional-quality edited videos in no time — no overpriced film editing software needed. 

With Replay Media Splitter you can extract or remove portions of audio and video files. With a visual display, and an easy way to include and exclude segments of your media, you’ll be slicing and dicing video and audio files in minutes.

Here’s a quick summary of the editing process to follow:

  1. Load one or more media files into the Media Library to use in your project.
  2. Add Markers to split your media into Segments.
  3. Include or exclude segments.
  4. Output the resulting file.

It really is that straightforward. For more information, our user guide is here to help you through the process.

Get started on your travel video montage project today, and breathe new life into your video content to enjoy time and time again, and share with friends and family. Make sure you get the latest versions of Replay Media Catcher and Replay Media Splitter and create your professional-quality travel video montage in just a few easy steps.

Posted | Category: How To, Replay Capture Suite, Replay Telecorder, Virtual Meeting, Working Remotely.

As more of us are being called upon to #stayathome, the more creative people are getting about reshaping their daily lives online.

It’s more important than ever to stay connected, and nowadays there are hundreds of ways to do it. Whether we are looking to connect professionally, personally, or purely for social reasons, staying at home is still a great opportunity for people to meet and get together. 

To do so, people around the world are turning to video chat giants like Zoom, Google Hangouts and Skype among others, making sure that they are able to not only get in touch with groups of people, but also to do it in a variety of ways. With Replay Telecorder, you can be sure to record your virtual events so that you can always playback your favorite moments. 

What are some of the best opportunities to get together?

Connecting Remotely with Your Work Team:

If you work from home, then connecting with your team is a must. From creating a supportive environment in your home office, to managing essential planning meetings, connecting is crucial. One of the most effective ways that remote teams stay connected is to make sure to set up regular times to meet and connect virtually. With Google Hangouts, Zoom and Skype, your meetings can accommodate teams of any size. Make sure that you keep track of important information by keeping a recording of your virtual meetings.

Staying Fit While #stayinghome:

You’d be amazed at the variety of fitness classes that are being offered online. From free fitness routines that you can find on YouTube, to the fitness class offerings that are opening up online, there is no reason to fall off of your fitness routine. But if you are like most, then it’s likely that having a fitness buddy (or a group of them) is your best motivator. Cue up your favorite online workouts, and then hop in a Hangout with your favorite workout partners to keep those endorphins pumping! Don’t forget to record your workout, so that you can practice those moves next time. 

via GIPHY

Playing Your Part in Interactive Game Nights:

Most games are made to be played with other people. Taking advantage of video conference rooms to hold a game night with your favorite people can be a great way to stay connected. With the option to create a grid of all chat members, it’s a great way to create teams if your group is large enough. Record the action so that you can replay and share your favorite moments. A great app for this is Houseparty, which comes with a selection of games to play with your friends, and its split-screen capabilities keeps games fun and fast-paced for everyone. All you need to do is invite your friends.

via GIPHY

Hosting A Karaoke Night:

If you’re looking to keep your spirits up, one way to do it is by hosting a virtual happy hour, featuring your favorite karaoke songs. You may want to share one (or a few) of your favorite seasonal recipes with your friends, and then join each other for a night of belting out your favorite sing-alongs. If you want to mix it up with your mixers, try adding in some trivia about your favorite bands before you start so that you can bring your virtual karaoke night to the next level. Just make sure you don’t miss a moment of it. 

via GIPHY

Throwing A Virtual Book Brunch:

Few things are as restorative as joining up with a group to have a deep chat over a great book and delicious food. If themed brunches are your thing, you can set up the theme of your brunch to coincide with the topic of your selected reading. Connect with friends worldwide if you really want to add to the fun. It may become the highlight of your week. 

via GIPHY

When it comes to linking up online, the possibilities are endless, and they keep growing everyday. All you need is some imagination, a great idea, and the perfect tools to make sure that you don’t miss out on a single minute. Our pick? Replay Telecorder. It can record any video conferencing applications in background mode, so you can enjoy an uninterrupted connection. 

How does it work?

  1. Get your group together. You can invite your group attendees manually or just make sure everyone has a custom link to the meeting. That way you can keep them private and invite only who you want. 
  2. Start your video conferencing application. Replay Telecorder works great with Skype, Google Hangouts. Zoom, and any application with similar features.
  3. Record and save for playback later. As soon as you join the call, just hit “Record” and you’re all set. You can stop recording anytime you like. It’s really that easy. 

Getting started is easy. Get your group together, get creative, and then make sure you have the latest version of Replay Telecorder, so that you can save the best moments (or save your best moves to practice) for later. With the right tools, your house may become your favorite place to meet up with your favorite people!

How to Record from Philo TV

Posted | Category: Applian Software, How To, Replay Media Catcher, Stream & Save.

With new and incredible services online offering the opportunity to binge-watch some new and groundbreaking movies and exclusive series, it’s great to know that it’s still possible to watch some of our very favorite channels online, without limits. With cable packages offering endless bundles of channels that you would never watch, and at prices seriously run amok, it’s no wonder that more and more people are making the switch to watching some of their favorite channels online. With Philo TV, you get all of your favorite entertainment and lifestyle channels, for a pretty great price, and not only that, there are a bunch of other perks that it comes with as well.

What’s Great About Philo TV?

Philo TV is an online subscription TV service that works from any device. Originally it worked only with Roku, but has since joined the big leagues of Apple TV, Android TV, and Amazon Fire TV, just to name a few. It’s a great place to stream and watch some of your favorite programs on over 58 channels (Hello, Food Network!), so you’ll always have something to fit your mood. With Philo TV, you can capture all of your binge-worthy programs, and watch them live, later or binge them all at once. Unlike network or cable TV, you don’t have to wait each week for a brand new episode!

One of the coolest things about the service? It gives you unlimited recording in-app, so you don’t have to limit yourself to only the shows you want to save. You can pretty much save any offering they have, and to make it even better, you can stream from three separate devices simultaneously. No more fights over who gets to have the remote.

With all that great stuff, it can’t go wrong, can it? Well, that depends. While it’s great to have in-app recording, it’s not really unlimited. You can record anything, but the recordings only last for a maximum of 30 days. That means you can carefully curate your absolute favorite shows, and create the ultimate playlist, only to lose everything after a month.

But what if you want to keep them longer? Replay Media Catcher has you covered. You can stream any of your favorite shows online, and save them, no matter what, so no matter how much time passes, you’ll never miss a thing.

How do you do it? Replay Media Catcher makes it so easy!
