According the WT 4.1.0-dev Release
Notes<http://download.win-test.com/v4/nightly/release.txt>,
4.1.0-dev includes the following:

- Bugfixes in Contest Recorder:

	- Infinite loop in MP3 file rotations. Tks DD5FZ.
	- Memory Leak using LAME encoder.
	- MP3 Codec enumeration in the player. WT was not always detecting
	  the appropriate Codec.
	- Playback with Windows VISTA. Note that the LAME Codec is

	  an Encoder Codec only.

So since you want to use the contest recorder, I would definitely recommend
version 4.1.0-dev.  Try it first with the Fraunhofer CODEC (Options | MP3
Configuration).  If that doesn't work, try the "LAME" MP3 encoder.

To install LAME, download version 3.98.2 of the LAME ACM (Audio CODEC
Manager) from:

http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-dshow-acm.php

or the direct link

http://www.rarewares.org/files/mp3/lameACM-3.98.2.zip

Unzip the file, right-click on *LameACM.inf* then click *Install*.  You
won't see much happen other than a quick dialog flash, but this does quickly
install LAME.  It can be removed later via Control Panel | Add/Remove
Programs.

Finally, restart wt_dev.exe (not wt.exe until it it fixed!) and use Options
| MP3 Configuration to select the LAME Encoder.  Then press the red "Record"
button to start/stop recording.
