I was confused at first as well - going to their website helped. At 
least in the case of something online: once a media file is coming in, 
the little icon on the upper task bar goes colour and starts to spin; 
then hit the litte arrow to its right... The file will be saved in full 
to the dwhelper directory. Hopefully this will work - considering you 
can at least display the videos.
