Just means the precord config file was corrupted somehow. Used to happen if you clicked the GUI window X rather than exit with the Quit button, but I thought I'd fixed that in 1.0.4Flash wrote: When I click to expand the "Config" menu, Precord 1.0.5 disappears. I restart it from the Multimedia menu, click "Config" again, and it works like it's supposed to
Anyway, it self-heals as you described and hopefully rarely occurs. I've hardly had time to test version 1.0.5 unfortunately, since things have come up here that prevent me doing more on it for a day or two at least. But do let me know if any other problems come up or if the vanishing problem occurs again or often.

Depends on the bitrate you set it at. If both are at 32kbits/sec then the size will probably be much the same, but at hight bit rates vbr should provide much smaller files (compared to cbr at the same selected bit rate). vbr certainly seemed to be the best for me when recording streaming radio with 01micko's pupRadio.
