I want to buy a copy of Win 2k SP3 CD. Last time I bought one I paid $65 off EBay. Now I can't find anybody selling them. What's up? Does anybody know where I can buy a copy discounted?
I reinstalled windows on the pain and I'm still hitting the 1:27 min encoding problem all avi's can still be opened beyond the 1:27 min point with tmpeg but they cannot be played past that point with gbpvr WMP quicktime or real player I'm just stumpped :confused: I have tried some of those fixes I read about and none of em seem to work for me
can anyone tell me what is going on? BTW 1:27:53 seems to be coinciding with 1gb even though the files at times are 1.39 gb or longer help! how do I fix this

Greetings all...
I put my pvr together about 3 months ago (all new equip). After alot of tweaking, testing, etc. i got my system working almost perfectly.
Two months or so went by and I upgraded the gbpvr to the newest version. All was going great.
Then things started to change...
I'd get random lockups during video play back, tv watching, etc. The screen would usually get all garbled and then GBPVR would lockup and i'd have to reboot. At first it was once a week...then once a day...then once an hour.
I really wanted to cover all possible problems before blaming it on GBPVR.
So.. over the last few weeks i've been installing new drivers, removing drivers in safe mode - grabbing nvidia drivers directly from them as opposed to my video cards manufacturers (MSI) website, upgrading BIOS, removing RAM sticks, etc,etc.
Nothing has worked. Now i've got random video problems going on without GBPVR even running! I think it's safe to say that my video card isn't in great condition.
I did notice the heatsink gets pretty hot and my case (a brand new compaq computer 3mos old anyway) doesn't get tons of circulation. I live in texas and the ambient temp in the house has increased since the birth of my PVR. I removed my MSI NX6200TC Pci-E card and even tried applying a fresh coat of arctic silver. Still.. getting problems.
Could i possible have corrupted the drivers or registry or something through all this? or is the card dying? Im at a loss...
So.. unless anyone has any other ideas of what could possibly be wrong (besides that my card is fried)... i'd like to know some other video card suggestions.
Im using this computer for PVR and nothing else - no games/etc... it's hard to believe this card died from that alone (although i did get it for only $40 or so from newegg).
All i need is a damn card with s-video out so i can get back to my lazy GBPVR lifestyle!
I'm debating on doing a complete OS re-install, but if it's really just my video card that's crapped out, i'd rather not waste the time doing that just to run into the same problems again.

I think someone has mentioned this before, but with my computer not waking up of late to update epg, i'll put in a request to update EPG from within GBPVR (maybe under the systems button). I would love for it to update EPG and run the associated batch files.
Noob here!
I just downloaded and setup GB-PVR but I get a black screen. The card is working because i can use the wintv to record things. I download the trial version of power dvd to see if i am simply missing the mpeg-2 decoder but I still get a black screen.Thanks
setup:
Pentium 3 866mhz with Windows XP
512 Ram
WinTv 150
e-Gefrorce 6200
Soundblaster live
cable goes directly into the card
Why am I addicted to this site and program?
Why do I check every five minutes for a new post?
Why do I read every new post?
Why does my wife stare at me and say "are you ever going to get off that thing?"
(I have a older wireless laptop as a "dev" computer and web browser.)
Why do I only have one tuner card?
Why is this the most helpful and friendliest forum I have ever been a part of?
Why do I check the Wiki several times a day for new updates?
Why does new hardware purchases have to go thru the "Purchasing department"?
Why is the jet engine in the corner of the room so loud?
Why?

Why do birds sing..........
If I go to Net Radio/top 25 and select any station. It will play right away. If I then choose another station, I get the info on that station (buffering..., then song name) but no sound.
Also, the "Stop" button on the menu seems to do nothing.
What actually causes tearing of video when playing back a previously recorded program in GBPVR?
I have my system setup with the GPL MPEG decoder, and use VMR9 - custom.
I was using just VMR9 but when I upgraded to the latest version of GBPVR, I couldnt see my mouse cursor under VMR9.
I have an Athlon 1.5 GHz with 760 MB of ram - should I experience tearing with this CPU? (nothing else really runs on the PC at the time)
It seems to occurr more frequently when there are horizontal lines on the screen with movement (very noticable during a shot of a car type spinning slowly)
So - would I be best to pay for an MPEG decoder, or are there any other fixes I can use to get better quality. I use a Nvidia FX5200 vid card, but have an ATI Radeon 9250 laying around - which would people suggest to use (both are 128 MB) (which of these would have better TV-out?)
A lot of questions, I know - but now everything is working together I want to get the best out of the PVR.
