VLC Portable Advanced Recording Function - Inoperable in Portable version

Hi Everyone

I have just tried to use the Portable VLC Media Player to cut a short clip from a video, without success.

Open VLC Media Player Portable
Select "Tools"
Select "Preferences"
Under "Video"
Under "Directory" browse for a location and select that folder for use
Restart VLC Media Player
Open VLC Media Player Portable
Select "View"
Select "Advanced Features"
Open a video
Hit the new "Record" button
Play a short clip
Pause the clip at the end
Hit the new "Record" button a second time
The new clip should now be in the previously selected directrory

After this failed in the portable version, I have locally installed the version from the VLC website. using the steps from above I am able to get a clip.

Can anyone else confirm this as a bug with the portable version only?

Thanks for your time and assistance with this.

Kind Regards

Koryo
