I have the Hauppauge MCE Remote(http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/uploads/Main/Haup_MCE_angle.jpg) and I'm using the regular Microsoft drivers not the alternative HIP drivers. I've noticed that the DVD Menu button does not seem to work the same way it used to after upgrading to 1.0.16. It used to take me to the dvd menu while playing a DVD(at least I remember it doing that...) Now it just toggles between a full screen view of the dvd and a preview window with the gbpvr menu. Have other people experienced this behavior?
Am I going to have to upgrade to 1.0.16 to use SchedulesDirect, or can I use that with my current (very stable, so I don't want to mess with it) 99.12 install?
First, thanks for the new 1.0.nn series -- this has vastly improved both the viewability (PVRX2 gui) and the performance over MVP's. The family really notices the differences and thanks you (me too).
I've tried setting the "Auto convert MPG recordings" to "DivX" -- no DivX file created, just an MPG file results. (Tried also output to WMV, same result)
I haven't found any discussion of pre-requisites - am I missing something here?
I run GB-PVR almost exclusively for recording cable tv shows (Comcast analog) for the family's use. Running comskip and comclean (both via thepostprocessing.bat not config settings) to reduce file size.
I'd like to store the programs at the same level of quality as the current mpg's -but- at greatly reduced file size.
Would converting to DixV or WMV (for storage) be the better choice for this? (sorry for the subjective nature of the question)
The way I understand it, I would need to...
(1) record same as now with comskip and comclean processed MPG files
(2) somehow (newbie here, be gentle) convert to the DivX (or WMV) format and also do file cleanup in the program subdirectory
(3) Set up so that the files can be viewed via MVP -- is this where "transcoding" on the fly takes place (so no MPG is saved in storage)?
This all needs to be able to be automated -- as the family and wife would not do (or be able to do faithfully) the steps required to do all this manually.
Any suggestions and recommendations for specific solutions is greatly appreciated.

In just about everything I record, if there is a camera pan, I get a jerk/stutter in the video every second or so. Sometimes slight, sometimes drastic. The audio is fine. Is there anything that anyone can recommend I do in order to smooth out video playback, hardware- or software-wise?
I have HVR 1600 74021 tuner, and from time to time IR remote stops responding,
the moment I connect the USB Keyboard and press a couple of button the IR remote also starts working. I am using Hauppauge's IR.exe tool. Maybe there are alternative ways to montor the remote? In the config I also tried the option to connect directly to Hauppauge remote, but that didn't make any difference whatsoever.
In my setup I have pre and post padding set to 2, but consecutive shows are cut without padding. Only one tuner. Will it be hard to implement "splitting" of the video+audio streams into two files so that they get the right padding? I would image that wouldn't be so bad, especially for hardware encoder versions of the hardware.
I am a programmer myself and might end up doing it myself(or at least trying) if nobody did/is going to do this.
I have no problems with internal card (ATI theater 550) but when I try to use my Hauppauge PVR2 USB2 I don't get any signal into GBPVR. It's been like that in all configurations/installations I have tried, 0.99.12 and 1.0.16 with and without wintv2000 installed.
When using tuning assistant there is no picture, but it does stop and pops up the message that a channel was found. :confused:
In the instances where wintv has been installed I have had no problems using wintv to watch tv, I do prefer GBPVR tho'.
Anyone else had/has the same problems?
Any suggestions?
Cheers

I have used Pinnacle Studio 9 for a while now to capture and edit my camcorder videos. The uncompressed files captured are 10 to 19 gigabytes large and Pinnacle has no problem opening them and editing.
I tried to do the same with a 7gb file I captured using GB-PVR (TV card software) to record a TV programme. The TV Card is a Hauppauge HVR-1300.
The resulting MPG file makes Pinnacle Studio crash immediately when I try to edit it. I also tried Movie Maker to see what happened and it just idles for ages and nothing happens.
Any ideas or suggestions? Maybe I have to somehow convert the MPG GB-PVR creates first? Maybe I should try a different editing software?
My current PC has 2gb of gaming RAM and an Intel Dual Core CPU, and its running very stable, so I dont think its a performance issue as it often is with video editing software.
Anyone switching from ZProcess1 to ZProcess2 will notice there are less features in the new program.
Basically, more features makes for a more complicated program. The number one criticism I received (it's all good) is that ZProcess 'looked' too complicated - intimidating... ZProcess 2 was redesgned from the ground up to install and operate immediately from the first run.
There are still many parameters that a user can change and tweak. But it should feel easier to work with now, that there's less to look at in one go...
I'd like to know what features are missing from the new version... What was something you really got used to using in ZProcess 1...?
