Hi, I am trying to run comskip either concurrent or later but am not having any luck.
Comskip is in the gbpvr folder and I can drop one of the files on it with success.
I see in the recoding service logs that
"Adding C:\DVD_VIDEO\GBPVR\The Tonight Show With Jay Leno\The Tonight Show With Jay Leno_20070329_22352337.dvr-ms to commercial detection queue"
but no luck, no comskip files at all in the folder with the dvr-ms file.
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
I tried to upload the log file but that failed "invalid file"
I've been getting some jerky video/strange timeline stuff on my standard PVR150 video recordings recently, and although I'm used to this with my dvb recordings, this was relatively new in the analogue ones. While looking for the cause (excess cpu usage at the wrong times?) I came across a couple of error messages I am a bit confused by:
In the GBPVRRecordingService.exe-1.log, during the time an affected program is recording ("Grand Designs Abroad", from 4am-5am, plus 2-pre and 9-post padding minutes), there are repeated errors regarding a failed transcode, which I'm confused about as I don't usually bother transcoding stuff:
Code:

and the other one is that several of the GBPVR.exe-native logs end with
Whats New:
Version 1.0
Released 30 March 2007
* Added Winvice Emulator
* Added Virtual Pinball
* Added DreamCast Emulator
* Added DOSBox to support old DOS games
* Added PC Games, which allows other emulators to be supported or even applications depending on configuration
* Change - removed superflous spaces from NES command-line hopefully will fix the issue relating to longer than 255 character command lines.
Please, read the Wiki prior to asking questions just to keep the traffic down.
I have been getting occasional shows (4 total now) which, no matter how I try to play them (GBPVR native, Xrecord etc) cause the MVP to disconnect immediately when attempting to play them. They are normal recorded shows.
I originally thought "oh, must be a zero byte recording" and just deleted them, but recently I discovered the show WAS recorded, and I could play the whole darn thing on my PC, but NOT via the MVP.
I wil try and send logs next time I get the shows which always cause the disconnect, but I guess you'd need the first part of the file that is being played to see the difference to ones that work? Le me know, I'll try and get one or two when it happens again.
I have a few old VHS tapes, and bought a VCR-DVD combo player for "fair use" copying to DVD before I retire the tapes. Of course I then discovered "Macrovision", for which there are a number of solutions, some being devices such as the GREX which look the business but are not cheap. (I don't have THAT many videos to convert).
So in looking at other solutions I found that TVTool, ffmpeg and VideoLAN are all software possibilities for getting past Macrovision. Only trick is to get the signal into the PC from my Combo Video Player and back out again (Or I could just record to the DVD Player in my PC I guess).
My thoughts were to use the PVR150 as in the input or capture device from the VCR part of my DVD/VCR combo, as the PVR150 has a Hardware Encoding Chip and a S-Video in port. Then my Video Card Back out to the DVD Recorder of my DVD/VCR Combo.
Has anyone done this? I am looking at using TV Tool if it works with my NVIDIA Geforce 6200 (I think it has TV Out) as TVTool has a disable Macrovision option.
Currently have a ti4200 in my system. It is by far the noisest component in the system so I want to replace it(for performance reasons also). I am looking for opinions on a new video card that is quiet:
I have a Reoccurring recording for Pardon The Interruption. When I'm in the Pending screen, I hit play and it jumps to it. I know I can hit keys on the keyboard and have it jump to shows starting with that letter. In the case of Play button, that's a Ctrl-P, but the Ctrl is being thrown away and the P is processed.
