   It should.  My does.  But I have an older version.   I was not     
   pleased with a recent version that [1] pasted a "Freemake"     
   watermark over the recording, and [2] disabled converting the     
   audio from a video file (such as a typical YT music video) to     
   mp3.

   Officially, I forget which ones are problematic. But if you     
   DON'T see a thumbnail image from the video after loading it in     
   the Freemake panel (instead, Freemake uses something that looks     
   like a nebula), then you know that it will NOT transfer to DVD     
   very well.  Eventually you will learn to avoid particular .MKV     
   versions.

   I can't imagine reading for the longterm on a standard     
   smartphone or tablet. For one thing, the battery would deplete     
   too often and the screen display would tire the eyes.  Instead,     
   I have a new Kobo now. It's the Clara HD.  It was $149, but I     
   got it for $125 after I qualified for a discount simply by     
   inquiring about the ereader recycle program for my old ereader.
