Hi,

I've been using GBRecord successfully to record programs using a PVR150. I recently added a Fusion HDTV card and I was wondering if its possible to record ATSC HD programs via GBRecord. I like the simple command line approach, so it would be very handy if I could do this.

Thanks!

Currently, wireless-G is not fast enough for HDTV playback in a remote machine. So I decided to explore transcoding and I have several questions.

1. Is transcoding DVR-MS file to MPEG4 (or MPEG2) possible?
2. Can I keep the same resolutions as the orignal? 1280X720 for 720p shows and 1980X1080 for 1080i shows.
3. How long does it take to transcode 1 hour HDTV (roughly 6GB) DVR-MS? I know it depends on the machine spec. Any ballpark figure will do.

Well, watching live TV is pretty much not going to happen. But, I can live with that, honestly. HTDV live is very jittery, even after trying all the measures discussed here. Regular TV can't be used in time-shift mode, it gets jittery and out of sync. These things worked fine with this hardware under Vista and WMC, but then it had it's own list of MAJOR issues.

Recording I'm having much better results. For non-htdv (analog cable) everything is GREAT! Even off-air SDTV is good. HDTV opens up a new can of worms.

Replaying the HDTV recordings is spotty. The images will occasinally pixellate, blur, and have other weird issues. I can look at the processor and memory usage and they are very low, definitely not the issue. Also, the scaling on the screen isn't right when watching HTDV recordings... even though the GBPVR menus are way overscanned, I still have a black bar at the left edge of my screen.

If I could just get these minor items working right, I'd be VERY close to a great system!

Sub, you kindly sorted out a previous capitalisation problem for me before http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=15824
Would it be possible to consider the same in the 'search' function. I was looking for WATTS and it wasn't where I expected it to be. (see below).

While I'm thinking of search - is there any reason that the cursor/selection up and down keys are different in different places - me, being an old fogey, gets confused in my old age i.e. in search you use forward and backwars skip to go up and down, but in the TV guide it's the blue and green buttons.

Hi

I've installed yesterday the last version of GBPVR after more than 1 year without using my mediaMVP. The server PC was also a clean install, with .NET 2.0 and Haupauge mediaMVP software installed but services disabled.
Everything went much more stable than 1 year ago, I was able to view divx files on my tv, I was amazed with the progress, 1 year ago even for mpeg files the mediaMVP was always reconecting to the server. And also web radios working without any reconnection, for hours! But still have one problem :-(
When I try to play MP3 files it reconnects to the server. After looking to the logs in the server, I found this is related with mp3 files that have foreign characters in the name (not ASCII 0-127). It seems that the 'translation' between GBPVR and the request from mediaMVP has some problem with foreign characters. Is there any setting that can be changed to support this characters? I am portuguese, so I have lots of files with these kind of characters ;-)
Thenks for your help!

Best regards

Fernando

I know that old versions are not supported and Sub doesn't host them on purpose.

However I really need GBPVR09608.msi so if any member still have it please send PM to g.fulir at gmail.com

Thanks!

i need the post transcoding to do a wmv at a bitrate anywhere from 500 to 1.5 and for it to be 320x240 this will fit my new zune. i can do it manually with other software but i want it automated, thanks

What is the best supported USB DVB Tuner? How do they compare with a Nova T PCI which I have for my desktop?

Thanks

I have an AverTV Go 007 FM Plus card and it doesn't seem to work with GBPVR software. This card is not listed in the program and checking the autodetection button doesn't do any good either. So, I tried it with the available AverMedia cards in the list, but no go.

Just to make sure that there are no issues with the card, I tested it with the software it came with and it seems to be working fine.

Is there anyway I can get this working with GBPVR ?

Sorry about the cross-post.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks!
