SeparateCapture_ChangeFilenameOnTheFly does not work in the trial version?

I am trying to assemble a simple video capture sample into short MPEG2TS chunks (Capture device -> *.ts chunk) using FFMPEG as the encoder.

It seems that SeparateCapture_ChangeFilenameOnTheFly() method call does not change the output file - the component keeps writing to the original file which was first opened.

Any help would be appreciated - here's the source code I've been able to assemble at this point (.NET 4.0 console application, 32bit):

private static void TestVideoCapture()
{
string outputFolder = @"c:\local\temp\output";

VideoCapture capture = new VideoCapture();

capture.Video_CaptureDevice = capture.Video_CaptureDevices[0];
capture.Video_CaptureFormat_UseBest = true;

capture.Audio_CaptureDevice = capture.Audio_CaptureDevices[0];
capture.Audio_CaptureFormat_UseBest = true;

capture.Video_Renderer = VFVideoRenderer.None; // No renderer

capture.Mode = VFVideoCaptureMode.VideoCapture;

capture.Output_Format = VFVideoCaptureOutputFormat.FFMPEG;

capture.SeparateCapture_AutostartCapture = false;
capture.SeparateCapture_Mode = VFSeparateCaptureMode.Normal;
capture.SeparateCapture_Enabled = true;

capture.FFMPEG_OutputFormat = VFFFMPEGOutputFormat.MPEG2TS;
capture.FFMPEG_TVSystem = VFFFMPEGTVSystem.Film;

capture.FFMPEG_VideoBitrate = 1500000;
capture.FFMPEG_VideoWidth = 640;
capture.FFMPEG_VideoHeight = 360;
capture.FFMPEG_Interlace = false;
capture.Video_FrameRate = 25;

capture.FFMPEG_AudioBitrate = 128000;
capture.FFMPEG_AudioChannels = 2;
capture.FFMPEG_AudioSampleRate = 44100;

string fileName = Path.Combine(outputFolder, GetOutputFileName(DateTime.Now));

capture.Output_Filename = fileName;

capture.Start();

Console.WriteLine("Started capture.");

if (capture.SeparateCapture_Start())
{
Console.WriteLine("Start capture to: {0}", fileName);

while (true)
{
Thread.Sleep(5000);

fileName = Path.Combine(outputFolder, GetOutputFileName(DateTime.Now));

if (capture.SeparateCapture_ChangeFilenameOnTheFly(fileName))
{
Console.WriteLine("Changed output file to: {0}", fileName);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed chaning output file.");
}
}
}
}

private static string GetOutputFileName(DateTime now)
{
return string.Format("{0}.ts", now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd_HHmmss"));
}
