I'm trying to put my movie library on my hard drive. I ripped a DVD and set my directory. I can go to the directory and it shows moviename.dvd. Click on that and the DVD menu comes up. The movie plays but no sound. I ripped a music DVD and all the songs show up and songname.vob. Again no sound. Common thing? VOB. How can I get sound from a VOB file? My MPG's and MP3's Play fine.
Okay maybe not totally fine. The MP3 are quieter than the MPG's. Is there an equalizer or something for that?

Thanks

When hitting Archieve, it would be cool if they stayed listed in Ready. That way my wife can find them, and doesn't think I'm just kicking her shows to the dump drive (or, I should say, figures out I cam).

the xbox 360 will be able to work with a MCE machine to show photos and such on the 360.

predictions: possible or not possible with gbpvr?

When I am a long time into watching a long recording, Skip forward & backward exhibit very long delays before taking an action. The skip backward problem seems much more pronounced than skip forward. Example:
After having watched 1:30 hours into a 3-hour move, the skip backward button seems to have no effect when pressed. Then, perhaps 30-45 seconds later, the skip backward happens. Sometimes it seems not to function at all. (There seem to also be problems with skip forward under these circumstances, but I don't recall it's being as severe as with skip backward.) Also, I'm not certain but it may be that this problem only gets bad or substantially worse after skip backward has been used a few times.
Initially I was afraid that perhaps skip backward was implemented by reading forward from the beginning of the file to get to the sought time period. So I tried viewing a long recording, and then immediately after starting to watch it doing three 30-skip-forward's, thereby quickly putting myself 90 minutes into the recording. However, when I then do several skip backwards, they respond essentially immediately. So, this problem seems to have something to do with how long the recording has been watched.
I'm running 94.13, and play back through an MVP.

'Tis again the season to be jolly, wish there was a skin to reflect the season. Or at least a link to teach me to change the background picture.

Happy Holidays everyone

Please post your best practices for optimizing XP so user of slower machines can get the best performance through XP. The goal is to create an improved machine without going so over board that one has to always troubleshoot the system after upgrades, etc...

I saw two "tweeking tools listed": nlite and XPlite. nlite's author posts to the effect - I got pushed this update out quickly becausee the errors in my last build were so bad. The second's web site does not inspire confidence... So before jumping into this myself and really screwing things up, I was hoping the users of gbpvr can give me some *safe* leads.

Thanks all... I think this thread can be useful for many, many people.

Hi,

Sorry, I'm a noob here and I've just started playing with GBPVR. I'm sure my questions are already answered, but buggered if I can find where...

I bought SageTV, but I'm unhappy because first, it doesn't handle DVB, second, it seems to lose a lot of frames when capturing to SATA2. So I'm thinking of ditching it, but my main concern with GBPVR is Recordings: will GBPVR automatically skip programmes it has already recorded? If I tell it to record all instances of Lost on C4 (no timeslot), will it still skip the Sunday repeat?

Also, is there a way to make it always use 13:9 aspect ratio by default? It's a PITA to have to tell it *again* after changing channel...

Thanks,
Rick

It would be nice for tuning comskip if GBPVR could display the frame number in the playback OSD. Not sure if GBPVR currently knows or cares about frames?

For some things I intend to keep I have manually altered the comskip frame file. This is useful for blanking out pre and post padding on a recording even if it isn't actually a commercial. And also obviously for commercials that are missed or mistakenly split. I know I can do this with other software but it is when you are watching the program you notice the missed ads.

I would suggest that it might be a setting that could be turned on or off in the config.xml I doubt it needs to appear in the config.exe. (keep that simple)

Hi,

Can I use the remote control from the Nova-T PCI to control :
1. GB-PVR ? (I remember someone told that the new Nova-T 90002 remote control will work but not the old model). Can anyone confirm this ?
2. Can I use it to control the PVR150MCE card? Do I need any software or plug-in to do this?
3. Can I use it for other applications (e.g. WMP, Cyberlink DVD, WinAMP etc.) ?

Thanks,
SV

About a quarter of my recordings have stuffed sound. The whole show sounds like a WW1 machine gun! It not being consistent makes trouble shooting pretty hard but wonder if anyone else has any ideas.
