Hi, I have the Hauppauge 150 and I was wondering if it was at all possible to record the audio as PCM or encode it during capture time as ac3.
I am trying to convert video from my camcorder to dvd.
What I want to do is record the audio as pcm and then convert it to ac3. Is this just a waste of time and I should just stick with how it is recorded now, as an MPEG-1 Layer2? Would it be pointless if I convert the MPEG-1 Layer2 to ac3 using something like http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=ffmpegGUI and using that create my dvd?
Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching but no results. Im not even sure if I should be posting on gbpvr forum, but I thought Id try!
On and HDTV recording (recorded straight to an mpg file) that was 6.4GB for a one hour show I attempted to run mencoder. It kept flashing through it, exiting and creating a 0KB mpg file.
I ran the option manually (see below) and it was erroring out (see at the bottom of the results). What is causing that and can I correct it for the HDTV recordings that create a larger file? It appears that the mpeg2video cannot handle the higher fps. Can this be adjusted/fixed?
Thanks
In the US, how does this major/minor thing tend to work when viewing digital tv?
If you have a channels like 47.1 and 47.3, how do you change to them with a remote? Can you go directly 47.3 somehow, or do you change to channel 47 then do something else to change between minor channels?
Please help me with a critical issue involving the WAF (Wife
Approval Factor.) I'm sorry for the length of this post, but this
does require a little explanation.
I have a WinTV PVR USB2 device that came with what strongly appears
to me to be a PVR150 Model 1062/232 remote (it matches the picture
exactly as seen on the GBPVR Wiki page.) Now, as has been said many
times on this forum and others, GBPVR doesn't always play nice with this
remote -- specifically, it won't change channels on my Scientific
Atlanta 2200 digital cable box. However, thanks to the excellent
guide on the Wiki site, I was able to successfully program HIP so
that the remote now works perfectly with GBPVR. It changes channels
smoothly on the cable box now, and I am very impressed with GBPVR
overall. I run two other tuners in addition to the USB2 device (a
WinTV 350 and an ATI HDTV Wonder) and they all work seemlessly
together thanks to GBPVR.
Now the problem: my wife has grown very attached to Windows MCE 2005
and wants that to be available on the machine as well. So I fire up MCE for her and . . . Argh!!! I finally get GBPVR working and now it's MCE that won't change the channels.
Initially I didn't think it would be too much of a problem to run both MCE and GBPVR, as I can just toggle the MCE services on and off with a batch file I made, but the issue is with the MCE infrared replacement driver that I had
to install in order to get HIP to work properly. Windows MCE keeps
looking for the original driver (which was called ehome infrared
receiver before the replacement driver changed it.) As a result, it won't change channels because MCE can no longer see the USB infrared box. I've seen several other posts relating to this problem, but no one has ever mentioned a solution. I know this isn't an MCE 2005 forum, but I'm sure there are people out there who would like to run GBPVR and MCE on the same machine. Is it possible to make MCE 2005 work with the MCE infrared replacement driver? Or, conversely, is there a way to make HIP work with the ehome infrared receiver driver?
If such a solution doesn't exist, I'd alternatively settle for advice on how I could run two USB blaster devices -- one for MCE 2005, the other for GBPVR (i.e., the blaster I have now, plus maybe a USB-UIRT, perhaps???)
I searched first but couldnt find the answer I was looking for. Here it goes :
Search Criteria :
1. Is there a way to narrow down to show all the movies to be shown today? I would like to search for all the movies being shown today.
2. When searching for a particular words, does the program searches only in the titles? Is there a way to search in the program descrioptions too.
3. Is there a way to scroll towards the right side in Guide, so that I can see whats is coming up in the next say 2-3 hours?
It took me couple of hours to get GBPVR to run without any issues. Initially I had problems with sound getting out of sync. But with the latest version everything works correctly . I used to use WinTV.
I've a weird problem. Whenever I use FFWD (FF / Fast Forward, not skip), I lose the sound until I stop and re-start. I don't mean during FFWD! I mean after I press 'Play' again and playback speed returns to normal.
This happens during playback of just about any video (tried recording, as well as Xvid AVIs).
I tried with InterVideo decoder as well as the trial version of NVidia PureVideo.
I also tried with 'System Default' and I think this is the FFDShow.
I'm wondering if there's a way to have more characters displayed in the short description of a broadcast. What I mean is, when you click on any given show in the tv guide, it opens a window that contains a short description of the show - but it cuts off hard after a couple of words.
I would really like to have more of the short description displayed in this window. Can I do anything about that by myself?
I know there is a net radio menu. but is there a net TV.
my mother in-law is korean and there are many live streams available on wwitv.com. I would like to include those streams with GBPVR and then with MVP she would have a great interface to watch/listen to anything she wants.
Im new here so please bear with me.
Im using a PVR-500 MCE to record shows off of cable. when i go to burn the mpegs to dvd i get errors everytime. I've tried burning the file before editing out commercials and after takeing them out to the same result. Im trying to use Nero 6 to burn the dvd (dvd+r's) and womble dvd mpeg vcr and mpeg video wizard dvd to edit. I know Nero doesnt like putting mpeg to video dvd but it should do it as a data dvd as i did manage to get one to burn many weeks ago but that has been the limit to my success. Im running Windows XP SP2.
Any suggestons?
I've just updated my DirecTV receiver to one that receives the local channels like 3, 18, 64 on those channels rather than in the 900 range. Realizing I needed to update my TV guide to reflect the new channels, I updated my channel listing on zap2it and initiated a guide update in GBPVR; no dice. I don't receive the new local channels ..and also don't receive a number of other channels that I've checked on zap2it as "include in list" (is that where I should be defining what channels I want to download to GBPVR ?)
I've read some of the other posts regarding guide update problems and tried the various resolutions and still can't get those channels to show up. By now I've removed my recording source and re-created it, compacted the database, verified my zap2it channel list is there, did a full reload of the guide, etc. and I still don't get the channels which I've checked in zap2it to be included.
. I used to use WinTV.
