I am using a VCR connected to the composite input of my hauppauge capture card to copy video tape material to hard drive and eventually to DVD. Is there a way to start recording with using the tedious manual record feature which requires a start time and end time input? I would ideally like to be able to press one button to start the recording and maybe increment record time by pressing again to increase say by 15 or 30 min increments. The file name could be based on date and time.

I did some searching, and it said pressing the number and skip would skip ahead that many minutes. I can't seem to get that to work. Am I wrong in how to do that? I was trying inside a video file I was watching.

Ignore the post below. I just found some discussion of this problem in this thread:
http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...idcore.dll

(I'm not sure why my previous searches didn't find it.)
______________________________________________


I've just, for the first time, tried to play a video and get an error that "...xvidcore.dll was not found."
I'm running GBPVR 95.16, and the latest XRecord off the Wiki.
I go to Recordings, then Videos. It shows my .avi files. When I select and try to play one I get a pop-up window titled "ffmpeg.exe Unable to Locate Component", and the text message says ".... xvidcore.dll was not found".
I've searched the forum and found no references to xvidcore.dll
Also, while the error window says ffmpeg.exe, I've searched my entire hard drive and don't find ffmpeg.exe. And in case it's relevant (and I have no idea whether it is) I have DivX Player installed on my system.
What is happening, and how can I fix it?
Many thanks.

Helloy Guys !

I wanna ask you, what you think about the following skin. It's my first skin ever and if someone has something to make better (colors of Buttons!!!) then tell me please.

Excuse the mixing of two languages, but i am not far enough proceeded to translate all into my language.

The Skin is for REAL german PAL-Resolutions (1:1 @ 768 x 576 Pixel). I think any other Resolution should be makeable ;-)

I would thank you all, for your help =)

EDIT:

This Skin is based on SUB's original BLUE-Skin! It's not my only work ;-)

I have recently noticed that my filesizes are currently about 20-50GB in size and have no idea what would be causing this, on playback i get just black screen and a time error where it shows as only 12secs and wont allow skipping?

My recordings are of Medium quality on a PVR-350, i had adjusted the max bitrate to equal High settings (because i couldnt see how to set High as default quality) but returned this max value back to default.

I have added a PVR-150 MCE as second capture device but dont use this yet as i need a 4 way TV Aeriel booster to get the extra terrestrial input.
This caused me problems with remote where MCE edition card prevents the system seeing the 350's remote input (i use a batch file i found that uses MS DevCon app to disable both cards, restart 350, restart IR.exe and then restart 150) see http://forums.sage.tv/forums/showthread....stcount=27

I have installed the Video Archiver plugin to use VA Panel mainly with new Contour skin.

I know this is a very vague problem and very likely most of above are irrelevant but they are the only significant things i have changed.
If anyone wants a log please let me know which one and i will post it

Sorry for the essay, thanks in advance, Stu

I've created a custom task, used config to install it, added a directory for it, dropped in a task.png.

The new button appears on the main menu, but no task image.

Guess what I wish?

I was doing some 'research' on the oppositions site an noticed some plug in support for 'my recipies'

Could be some real WAF points in this!
