any hopes in getting this toshiba laptop tuner to work with analog tv?
attached is filtercheck output..

I have a slight jittery problem with some recordings in GBPVR, but live tv seems fine, and when i play back the recording in WMP, all plays fine, i did notice that WMP uses different decoders to play the file, and am wondeing how i can get GBPVR to use that for playback of recordings to eliminate my problem

Does the decoders in config affect playback of recordings

Due to a little snafu with my new setup, I missed recording 24 this Monday (which I think was 709 4-5pm). 24 is a show that, in addition to watching, I compress and keep for posterity's sake.

So I'm looking to see if anyone else had a similar snafu and is interested in an exchange of sorts--since 24 doesn't rerun until syndication. Many moons ago, sub said he had no issue with this type of thread, but if that's changed, my apologies.

What I've missed: 709 24 4-5pm

Pool of shows from which I can offer something in exchange:
all of 24 s7 (although episode 5 is missing a little bit on the frontend)

House

Lost

I have some others, but not as complete. Feel free to inquire about other series. All are cut manually and compressed in Xvid. House and 24 both have some episodes that were originally recorded digitally, and some originally in analog, as I just got my digital card recently. All have been compressed to below HD resolutions, but the ones recorded in HD still look sharp and upscale well.

After much hair pulling I discovered why DTS is not being passed to my AV receiver when playing back 720p mkv files. The problem is the MPA Decoder Filter is automatically included in the filter graph and if I remove it and connect directly to AC3Filter I can pass thru my DTS and everything seems fine.

Anyways, in the config I have set AC3filter as my HD audio codec but in addition to AC3filter this MPA Decoder filter is automatically inserted. Anyone know why this happens, what this MPA decoder is doing, and more importantly how I can tell GBPVR to NOT use it as part of the playback?

After trying several different video codecs, only the MPV filter is working now, but it has problems with fast moving video or panning video. Before recently registering and testing several codecs, the Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder worked the best. (clvsd.ax ver 8.1.0.1608) I have tried three versions of ffdshow, ATI mpeg, Dscaler, Nero, and two or three different Cyberlink codecs, some have no video, some crash gbpvr, some have jerky video. Even the once working Cyberlink codec was not perfect video during fast moving or panning scenes but it was better than MPV filter. I even downloaded a trial version of NVidia PureVideo but it also crashed gbpvr. Could I have messed something up with gbpvr while testing the other codecs?

Windows XP Pro
ATI Wonder 650 dual tuner
GB-PVR version 1.3.11

Installed the community skin and the skin plugin (in that order) and now I
can´t get the plugin to show up in the plugin tab in the configuration app.

As the title says, XRecord is not working on the MVP, it hangs GBPVR. But it works in the GBPVR server.

Am using GBPVR ver 1.3.11

After countless trial-and-error I'v finally managed to get a fairly good conversion of recorded analog TV-shows using FFMPEG. I'v given up MENCODER since it works for most of my recordings but not all. The quality of the resulting -avi file is, as far as I can see, good, but the conversion is slow.

Evan with my new AMD64-X2-6000+ cpu it takes more than an hour to convert a 45 min show. Tha commandlines looks as follows:

"C:\Programfiler\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\FFmpeg\ffmpeg.exe" -i "%~dpn1.mpg" -threads 2 -an -s 768x576 -pass 1 -vcodec h264 -b 1200k -flags +loop -cmp +chroma -partitions +parti4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 -me epzs -subq 1 -trellis 0 -refs 1 -bf 16 -b_strategy 1 -coder 1 -me_range 16 -g 250 -keyint_min 25 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -bt 142282 -rc_eq "blurCplx^(1-qComp)" -qcomp 0.6 -qmin 10 -qmax 51 -qdiff 4 "%~dpn1.avi"

Is there a way to reduce the processing time without reducing quality or increasing the file size too much (the converted size is now about 30% of original size)?

Getting an issue that I think is multirecord related.

Recording shortland st every night off tv2 7pm to 7:30. Comes of DVB-S generally.

On Fridays (and other days the same problem shows up), Americas next top model starts at 7:30. Shortland st is generally cut off. Looking at the log you can see the Americas Next top model start bang on 7:30. Again off the DVB-S.

Why, when there are two pvr500 tuners sitting there idle, will it use the same tuner?

Logs are attached.

Older computer, but brand new install of everything after HD bit the dust. I believe I installed all pre-requisites with new windows install but may have missed somthing. When I start PVRx2 I get the blue title bar at top of screen and tray icon but nothing else. I've attached logs from multiple false starts. Let me know if any other info would be useful.
