First, I would like to say that I have been so happy with GBPVR. The support on this forum is fantastic, period. Having gotten that out of the way, I have an off topic question: Where would I go, such as another forum, to find out about recording or archiving shows to DVD without losing picture quality?
Problem: I just started archiving some shows to DVD. When I play the recording from the hard drive, everything is fine. However, when I archive to DVD and play with my set-top DVD player, i notice some "smearing or tearing" during high action scenes. I am using the bundled Ulead software version 3 to record to DVD. I have Easy CD & DVD Creator, version 6, but it does not offer the editing of the front and back end of the clips as the Ulead software does. It seems as if some of the data is being lost during the recording stage. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'd love to be able to set a reminder for a program, and have it work for every episode. I've just started watching Lost on E4, and could do with being reminded when it comes on.
Sorry for the slightly off topic post, but GBrecord is kind of related to GBPVR eh! (grin)
I have been using the GBRecord command line recorder for sometime with Windows XP Professional.
Just recently, I have installed the MCE2005 operating system, which I understand is basically XP Professional.
However, here's the problem.... I can't get GBRecord to work with MCE 2005 operating system.
I am using GBrecord in exactly the same mannor as I always have, but when it goes to actually record, it comes up with some error about file not found.
I have tried it with a Hauppauge PVR150MCE, a PVR500, and a PVRUSB2, but it just won't work. The GBFilewriter filter is registered, and all the diagnostic display seems to indicate all the capture filters etc are seemingly connecting.
If I load up my system with XP Pro, and the same hauppauge device drivers, GBrecord works flawlessly.
Can anyone confirm that GBRecord hass issues with MCE2005 operating system?.
Hi I'm currently ruinning a nova t, and a kworld dvb cards in my system both are working reasonably well (although i would suggest spending the money and getting the nova t seems a lot better).
Any way when i tune in the channels it shows up that i has found the "top up tv" channels such as uk gold and britisheurosport. I know normally you buy a card for access to these and put it in the set top box. but seens as this is all runninfg through a pc i wondered if it was possible to hack into these channels so i can watch truck racing on british euro sport :o).???
GBPVR looks real good but my old ATI TV Wonder is not supported. Does any one know if the Dick Smith branded card work. Details here . It says it has a Philips 713X Chipset.
I'm getting some odd occurances when using GBPVR with my NOVA-T USB2. Basically, I'm set up using the Cyberlink decrypters where-ever there's an option to (this gives me the best play-back). When changing channels, however, its hit or miss whether I'll actually get any video playback. Audio's fine, but I just get a blank screen. Changing back to the previous channel (or the channel which was OK before surfing) restarts playback for that channel, but changing again causes the same problem. eg:
I'm at a loss as to how to fix this. Using the hauppauge TV app things are fine, and it seems as though I've got > 80% signal strength for all DVB channels.
I've been very interested in building my own PVR and now that i have.. i cant get it to work =( My capture card is a hauppauge pvr-150, video card is an readeon 9800, 120gb HD, 1gb of DDR400 ram. athlon 64 for my cpu. everytime i try to watch live TV, or record or do anything.. i get an error: failure playing back file. hope someone out there can help me out wiht this.. if i cant get this to work.. i'm jsut going to return the pvr-150 to compusa and raise my white flag...I am attaching my log file.. hope this clears things up.

I am getting the following error in the recording service log and I cannot view my recordings, and it says I have none scheduled on the initial screen.
