SUMMARY I'm taking the opportunity to report this Krecorder bug (I believe it is a bug): no matter what format or codec you choose, the application only records audio in .wmv format. Even if you choose other file formats and codecs, when you close and open the app your settings are reset! STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open krecorder 2. choose a codec and a suitable format 3. record your audio OBSERVED RESULT Krecorder doesn't change the chosen format and codec, always recording in .wmv. EXPECTED RESULT krecorder records in any format and codec of the user's choice!

I am experiencing the same issue. None of the settings appear to change upon selection, including audio input.

Scratch that: audioQuality is updated in ~/.config/kde.org/krecorder.conf containerFormat is updated in ~/.config/kde.org/krecorder.conf Codec and input are nowhere to be found, and entering values manually into the config seems to do nothing.
