I recently replaced my ATI550 with a Hauppauge PVR150 (see reasons below).
Now I have a 350+150 in the same box. The drivers were a little tricky but it seems to work well now.
Then this morning my wife tells me that she recorded a show and almost every time she presses FFWD, GBPVR crashes. I've uploaded the resulting appcompat.txt.
I knew I had another recording on the other card at the same hours, and this never happened before when I had 350+ATI installed. So I tried to crash GBPVR in the same way on the other recording => Couldn't. I pressed Play, FFWD, Pause and Skip multiple times, and couldn't crash it.
My conclusion was: Something is different in the resulting MPG file. I ran the Hauppauge Tweaker, and looked. Here is a list of all the differences:
Code:
PVR350 PVR150
Audio rate 224Kbps 384Kbps
Audio CRC Off On
Video rate 3.5Mbps 4.0Mbps
GOP size 15 12
Anyone has a clue what's the problem?
I changed the 150 to match the 350's setting, and set up a recording starting 15 minutes ago, ending 45 minutes from now, overlapping another recording at the same times. I will post results later this evening.

[Off-topic: The combination of my 350+ATI was giving me grief - a lot of times I'd get the 350 and the ATI to mis-tune and I got unviewable video quality. Since installing the 150 instead, it has worked well for 2 days now.]
I recently upgraded my rig and added a decent display (Dell 2005FPW).
The available skins don't seem to cut it at a resolution of 1680x1050 (16:10), though. Letters keep being cut off at the bottom, display looks a bit distorted.
Can anybody out there point me to a skin that looks good at aforementioned resolution?
I'm willing to put in some effort myself, but I'd prefer not to have to start from scratch.
Anyone know how to get graphics visualizer running on tv through mvp the way it does on the computer. Blue skin shows it playing in the box on it's still.
Unable to get this to show up in config plugin menu after installing. Some research suggests may be a missing commongbpvrutility.dll file. Was unable to locate that file in my gbpvr directory.
Is there any setting that I can tweak in Video Archive/DVD2MPEG that will keep DVD Decrypter from prompting me to select a region code. It would be nice if I could force it to always use Region 1. Maybe this can be done in DVD Decrypter somewhere?
I just installed it, and it works great. However, when I am watching Live TV and I try to pause it, it pauses, then the screen flashes and says "starting timeshift..." and then it goes to a black screen which says "no tuners are available to watch the requested channel." My only option is "[don't watch tv]". I can record fine. I'm using a Plextor ConvertX PX-TV402U.
I've been using v0.95.16 since early Feb without any problems. In the last week my account expired at Zap2it. So today I extended the subscription another 3 months. I then tried to update my EPG but keep getting the error "Failure in ChannelFactory:: storeChannels(): No current record".
I saw some folks had success by reregistering MDAC and Jet using a utility. I tried that and restarted - no help.
Any other clues? I saw some mention cleaning up one's channel lineup at labs.Zap2it.com. What exactly am I looking to do? Must the channel lineup at Zap2it match the channels selected in GB?
I have a Pinnacle WDM PCTV that works with my other program (WinAVI Video Capture)
When I try to set it up in config, it doesn't find my card.
Is it not supported? Thanks
