VideoRecorder generates a 00:00:00 length file

I have used the VideoRecorder options for several years without issue.  I got a new Windows 11 PC and have completed all the setup/install requirements to get the VideoRecorder working on my new PC.  Everything runs great in TestComplete and a video shows to produce as expected.  However, the video is 00:00:00 in length. 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything (as outlined here https://github.com/SmartBear/testcomplete-videorecorder-extension/blob/main/README.md) but still having this issue.  Any suggestions?

    I've just tried this out on my Windows 23H2 using VLC Media Player v3.0.20, recording a simple web interaction based on the following code,

    function Main()
{
    if (VideoRecorder.IsRecording()) // Check if the recorder is working
        VideoRecorder.Stop();

    VideoRecorder.Start("High")

	// Do something
	
	VideoRecorder.Stop()
}

    and it is able to record

    You need to install VLC Media Player, and this needs to be set as your default video player!
