To keep my hard drive as uncluttered as possible, I rip some shows to DVD for long term storage. I use Nero to burn and the most frustrating this is the speed at which the 'transcode' happens during the prep for burning.
My question is, does anyone know the bit rate of a DVD? I am thinking that if I set my default bit rate in GBPVR to a constant bit rate that matched what a DVD and Nero are looking for, then the program would not take the time it takes to be transcoded before it gets burned. I don't know for sure if this is the case or if there is some other remedy, but if anyone has ideas, any help would be appreciated.
Is anyone else having issues editing the config.xml file?
I can even open the file and save it without making any changes and that will mess it up. I've tried using Notepad, Wordpad, Editpad Pro. I've also tried this on three different machines without success. In the past I could edit it, but no longer.
After I save it, I'll open it with IE to see if IE complains and it will say:
Code:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

I'm really having a hell of a time with my PVR at the moment and I see suggestions about editing the config.xml to set this and that to true/false and I can't try any of this because I can't edit that file!
I'm a new user to gbpvr and am loving it so far. The only problem I have is the picture quality on my PC. I tried beyondtv's trial and was impressed but like gbpvr's price However the quality on my pc was much better with beyond tv, looked like it does on my TV, however, gbpvr looks a little fuzzy and pixelated. I am using .98.8 with nvidia purevision decoder. Is there anything that I can try tor is beyondtv just better at this point?
Thanks or the great product

I have a pvr 350 and pvr 150 with IR blaster. The actual tv in is plugged in only into pvr 150 and i use it's IR reciver. I tried to use "Use direct access to hauppague remote" option casue my GBPVR is usually without focus. The problem is that it doesnt seem to do anything. Remote still doesnt work when GBPVR is out of focus
When configuring 0.98.13, I get this error when I try to add capture sources:

Hi,
I've been looking at getting myself a TV card and I like the look of the features on the Hauppauge HVR 3000 (I've already got myself an MVP). However, I can't see the card listed on the wiki and was wondering if anyone has any knows if the card is compatible with GBPVR (I'm assuming it is probably just a HVR 1300 with the satellite functionality).
As I don't know much about editing the registry I am confused my this sentance in the process of booting into Gbpvr.
"Now (still in regedit) open these registry folders as follows:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
Create a value for Shell and put the path to your new shell. Youâll have to find the path to gbpvr.exe on your computer and enter it.
ex: C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\gbpvr.exe (YOURS may be different, use YOUR OWN path to the exe!) "
So should I be creating a String value? Or what type of value?
My other question is that if I have a program that connects to my wireless network, it won't automatically start up after I directly boot into Gbpvr because its explorer that calls the program to run correct?
Does this mean that the GBPVR scheduler will not run automatically when the computer starts?
Hi,
I was wondering if there was anyway of changing the plugin's name in the main menu? Reason I ask is I use Video Archive for TV viewing and My Videos for movie viewing and it would make the fiancee a lot happier to have more descriptive names on the main menu.
However the quality on my pc was much better with beyond tv, looked like it does on my TV, however, gbpvr looks a little fuzzy and pixelated. I am using .98.8 with nvidia purevision decoder. Is there anything that I can try tor is beyondtv just better at this point?
