Thanks for the website link.....I tried the Replay AV software and it
converted the file to ASF and solved the problem I had with all the other
software saving the file with a DAT extension. If interested here's a copy

Hi John,
What you're describing is exactly what Replay AV is for. It stream captures
audio and video clips and can also record shows on a schedule. Download and
install the free demo of Replay AV and take it for a test drive.
Here is a link to the section of the User Guide that describes how to stream
capture video with Replay AV.
