When I look at the tv guide while watching a channel the picture gets choppy or a stop start type of picture. As soon as I turn the guide off the view returns to normal smooth viewing. Could this be because my processor is to slow? So far GBPVR has worked great except for this one problem, which I can live with if I have to.
Here are my specs:
P3 800
512 ram
PVR 350
40 gig hd
Any help or suggestions (other than buy a new computer) would be much appreciated.
Hey guys, I've searched through the forums and seen bits and pieces.. but what I'm looking for is the easiest solution to dump recorded shows to DVD.
I tried ShowBurn, but it only takes files from the Video Library, so they'd need to be moved there first... and I wasn't able to get it to work (I can transcode files, but I never get have the option to start the burn).
Here are my specs I would like any suggestions on what type of a remote systems I can set up to work with this so I don't have to keep getting up and changing it via the keyboard or mouse?
P4
512 ram
Nvidia GeForce 6200
Hauppauge PVR500
Not sure what else you would need but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I want my GBPVR to record EVERY poker show (for the most part). Unfortunately, none of these have subtitles or episode numbers as far as I can see through the TV Guide, so I assume the duplicates will still be recorded. Is there anything I can put in the batch file or a program I can use to periodically check for duplicate videos? I'd imagine this would suck up a ton of processing power but I suppose that's fine considering it's a dedicated machine for TV only and I'd only run it once a day.
I'm currently got Stattik's AutoTranscodeCut automatically reading through my recordings file every 30 minutes or so, so I figure I could just stick something in that to check for new files that may be duplicates or something like that.
I have the PVR-150 that comes with the IR-Blaster, but my PC is too far away from the Directv STB to attach the cable. I was wondering if I could use this setup:
I would place one of these units next to my PC with the PVR-150 IR-Blaster taped to the radio shack remote extender, and then put the second radio shack remote extender next to my Directv STB. Would this work?
Sorry if this has been posted or not. I just got my computer to wor and not freeze and now everything works wonderful.
My question is, is there a way to watch in a full screen mode. I like everything except the bar on the top of the screen not sure if I can get around it or not but I cannot seem to find it on my searches here.
When watching live TV with preview mode off, and I change channels, the video will pause, then speed up, back and forth for about 5 seconds, then play just fine. Audio sounds fine.
Problem occurs with both Nvidia PureVideo decoder and Intervideo (came with PVR 150). Problem also occurs regardless of rendering mode (VMR 9/ Custom/7/Overlay). CPU usage doesn't spike at all. Have tried a bunch of quartz.dll's as well.
I've got an Athlon XP 2200+, Nvidia 6200 video card. Once the initial stutter is through, video/audio is smooth as silk.
Logs are attached. Only think I noticed was in GBPVR.exe-native.log...when the problem occurs (in this case, changing channel to American Idol), there are a bunch of "Forcing VMR9Custom update" entries about a second apart. Not sure if that is useful.
