There are some decoders that aren't showing up in the GBPVR settings on-screen menu that do show up in the config settings menu. What is the reason for that? Should I have them listed in the config.xml, even though they are dynamically detected, so they show as options in the GBPVR on-screen menu?

I just went from Windows 7 Media Center back to Windows XP and GBPVR. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer my 225gb worth of TV Recordings to GBPVR? I have already converted all of the recordings to DVR-MS. The thing is I want it them to appear under the Recordings section. Is this even possible?

I think I already know the answer to this but whatever:
My A100 is hooked up via hdmi to DVI to my old 16:10 LCD monitor, in the PCH setup I have to select a 16:9 resolution for the video out otherwise the MVPMCx2 menu never loads up. However, as a result when watching live TV the aspect ratio is never quite right, by default it is stretched vertically, but hitting the zoom button results in fat heads.
Is there any way around this?

I guess the bes option would be to have the PCH running in 16:10 1440x900 but this requires mvpmcx2 to support and I have no idea what would be involved from martin to implement.
The other way is if there were other zoom options on the PCH???

It's no biggie, its a 3rd TV in the spare room, and it is watch able but it would be nice if I could sort it.

Martin?

Is there another extension, besides Wiz Rename Recording, that will rename recordings after they are completed? Wiz seems to miss quite a few.

I tried searching but didn't find anything... any word if this will be/is supported by GBPVR?

I just did an initial install of version 1.4.7 on a win7 64 bit machine. I'm using the Hauppauge 2250. I'm in Toronto Canada.

The OTA TV video looks OK, but the sound is coming out as an awful warbly screeching sound (unintelligible).

The Canadian channels during the scan have two versions: (000) and (000(AC3)). The U.S. ones seem to only be (000(AC3)), which is the sound codec, I think.

I tried both a (000) and (000(AC3)) version and they both have the sound problem.

MCE works for both audio and video (but I am trying GB-PVR because I want the network tuner feature for live TV)

Thanks for any help.

Greetings,

I'm looking at the following collection to upgrade my GBPVR machine. I have a Hauppauge HVR 1600 tuner to put in it, 2 1.5TB SATA drives and one 750GB PATA drive.

I will be installing Win7 on the machine. Would have been WHS (Windows Home Server) but carbonite doesn't appear to play nice with WHS.

This machine will eventually go in the Living Room connected to an HDTV that has yet to be purchased. Right now my machine is just hooked up to a 19" LCD monitor. I use an MVP at them moment to stream to the LR.

I haven't decided on a video card. Any recommendations on what would be a good fit with this combo would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the list I have in my basket at newegg:

I've started using CD Bremse (CD Break) on Windows 7 and it does an excellent job of slowing down my DVD read speed. But, after a reboot I have to enter all the settings again. Does anyone use this software and no of a method or setting to make it remember the configured speed settings?.

As an aside, when I try to select the "restart with windows" option it says "registered users only". But, I can't figure out what and where I can buy...

IF YOU TRY ANY OF THIS YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK! I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST RECORDINGS, ETC...

I really like MCEBuddy. It is well-written and works pretty well for making MP4 files from MPG files on a dual core CPU, but it works really fast and well on a quad core CPU.

Now on my MP4 files, I like to use 160 bit rate for the AAC audio and 1000 average bit rate for video. My converted MPG files look GREAT and are a lot smaller in file size with almost unnoticeable loss of quality.

To set up MCEBuddy...

1. Download MCEBuddy from http://www.mcebuddy.com/ and install it. There are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
   
2. Go to "C:\Program Files\Tyrell\MCEBuddy\mplayer".
   
3. Open "mencoder.conf" with Notepad.
   
4. Add the code below to the top of "mencoder.conf" and re-save the file.
   
5. Open MCEBuddy.
   
6. Select "H.264 MP4 1000/160 TV (No Resize, 2 Pass)" from the drop-down list.
   
7. Check the boxes in front of DELETE ORIGINAL (at your own risk and only if you no longer want the original MPG file), SORT BY SERIES, and SUB DIRECTORIES.
   
8. Change FILE SELECTION to *.mpg and change the VIDEO PATHS SOURCE and DESTINATION to where GBPVR saves recordings to.
   
9. Click START to start the MCEBuddy service.
   

I found the directions for setting up my HVR-2250 tuner, but when i try to select the ... next to frequencies it is greyed out, and my country list only has 'All Countries', i'm trying to setup ATSC.

Thanks

Matt
