Might be, I picked the 16th as that was the first recording that it 
finds. The 4th is the first it couldn't find (with none in between.

I'd never heard of that. Good to know. I ran through the process, and 
it renamed everything back to what appears to be the original, but it 
was still unable to find those videos.  If it is daylight savings 
time, is there something I can do to fix it?
