Using the dvd2mpeg plug in.

I use VLC to play a disc, and vlc says the film is 1hour 26 minutes, and 23 seconds long.

If I DVD decrypt the film, DVD decrypt also says the film is the same length.

But when i play the mpeg 2 file created by dvd2mpeg, as needed for the MVP, then the file is only 51 minutes, 55 seconds long.

Had a quick look through the film, and I can not see any obvious bits missing, and the film is not obviously playing fast. If the time was real, it would be playing 68 % faster.

Any ideas , is this a feature ? Am I missing some scenes I just have not noticed yet ?

Any one else noticed this ?

I have just built an AOpen EPC945 htpc and installed GBPVR (with Hauppauge dvbt 500) and it worked just fine. It's the new facility for the living room. (I'll post about this later).

It comes with a VFD but only the means to use it is with MCE. It has no visible drivers but I know it is a USB device. I have tried LCDSmartie and nothing seems to drive it. What it does come with is a "mediacentersink.dll" to receive message from MCE about its status.

Now, since I don't and won't have MCE on this system, that's not much use. I can't seem to find out what make the VFD is (it's hidden behind fixed metalwork) and it doesn't show itself in Sysinfo, one possibility is to drive the MCE mediacentersink interface. So the question is - has anyone already done this? A GBPVR plug in is the obvious ideal, but a command line interface - perhaps one that was used as a test tool - would probably do. Any pointers would be gratefully accepted.

I did see this on a blog from a Microsoft guy http://www.shahine.com/omar/PermaLink,gu...269ec.aspx but that is about writing a sink rather than the other way round.

Edit: Skip to the bottom edit.

So I just received my Hauppaugge 150 and got it working fine with the WinTV program. However, I'd rather be using GB-PVR, but I've run into some trouble. I need to use the IR blaster since I've got a Comcast Set-Top-Box but when I go into the Recording Source setting for GB-PVR and use the Channel Changer setting, I have no clue what to use!

"No channel changer" simply tries changing channels without touching the IR blaster (so it changes to some wonderful static) and Girder costs money (obviously I've taken the cheap solutions here). I began setting up HIPSend but it looks like that's meant for the MCE remote which I don't have (I do have the 45-button Hauppaugge remote). Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I've been all over the wiki but none of it mentions how to hook up this odd IR blaster to GB-PVR w/o the Girder option. Thanks in advance for the help.

Oh, also, is there any way I can get the audio/video input to work with a split COAX cable coming out of the cable box, or do I have to use the composite video in and thus have an odd time getting my audio to work? Thanks again!

Edit: Just figured out both after enough time tooling around with everything. I guess my last question is, is there any way to watch TV and record a different channel even though I have a set-top-box? I highly doubt I can but I figured I'd ask anyway now that the rest of this post is useless.

If I have the folllowing: 127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16,169.254.0.0/16

Why would that allow me to login from the internet with no login. Is it because it's coming through my router?? (I've port forwarded 27647 to 7647)

I just reinstalled windows and GB-PVR v0.98.13b. With or without plugins, I get an 'Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' message whenever i try to do anything while watching a recording.

Here are my logs. Can someone help me?

Found this article comparing decoders from Nvidia and ATI. It speaks specifically about DVD, but I expect it is relevant to all MPEG2 (?)

Purevideo comes up heavy on CPU and light on quality...

Hello, Does anyone know why occasionally the Program Recordings Conflict page displays incorrect conflicts?. This has happened twice recently and I cannot remember how the conflicts were deleted. Tried manually deleting from both GB-PVR application and web-interface but incorrect conflict won't delete . Logs attached just in case they're needed.

UJB,

I use EWA all the time to schedule. I really like it & find it very useful.

The one thing I would love is to be able to sort based on the original air date. Here in the USA, NBC tends to repeat some of its shows on its cable networks anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks after showing it on NBC. Sometimes, I want to record the reshowing of Heros on SciFi or Law & Order: Criminal Intent on USA Network. It would be nice to be able to sort on Original Air Date. Especially for Law & Order: CI, since the previous seasons are also shown on USA.

In a perfect world, I would always record the original airing & not want this feature, but I don't live in a perfect world.

Thanks

Hello I'm new here, so sorry if this is posting something someone has already asked (I have searched but did not find anything) but I just want to know if any one has had any luck getting the PVR 150 USB Beanbag IR transmitter/Reciever working under XP Pro SP2? I can get it recieving and accepting commands personally, but no luck with the blasting part and I'm just banging my head against a wall here... and would really like to stop. (Plus having recording more then 1 channel would be prefered) Thank you for your time and have a good day!
