Hello

How is the recording "quality" changed in GBPVR??
A little background:
- replaced Leadtek WinFast card with Hauppauge PVR150
- tried BTV & SageTV deleted them from system
- WinXP SP1

Probably need a fresh XP install - not sure!! (got soooo much stuff on this box........)

Anyway I believe when I was trying BTV I added two additional quality settings ie: "custom1 & custom2" in addition to HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW
The reason I mention this is they both show up as an option when I change the "quality" settings in GBPVR.

BTW I decided on GBPVR FOR THREE REASONS:
1) it works great - thanks everyone
2) great support, development community
3) works with Hauppauge MVP

Thanks

If I copy all of my DVD's to my HD, is it possible to view directly as a .vob or an .iso?

I have daemon Tools and the approriate DVDdecrypter and such, so I can mount iso's.

Questions sounds a little odd I know, but I have the idea that I might be able to make a poorman's escient fireball or Kaliedescape..

Should i get a HAUPPAUGE WinTV PVR-350
or HAUPPAUGE WinTV PVR-150 Plus a Video card that has TV-out?

is the TV-out quality for HAUPPAUGE WinTV PVR-350 acceptable?


I'm trying to build a Media Center computer from my old computer.

These are the parts that i'm going pull out.
PIII 1.12Ghz
ECS P6STP-FL with VGA and Audio
128MB PC133 SDRAM
60GB HDD
DVD-Rom

There will be 512mb more ram i'm going to add.
the mainboard only has 2 PCI slots, one of them is already installed
a Ethernet card. if i want to add a video card, i will have to get a usb ethernet adapter.



And i saw some people sell something like this:
on ebay.
i just wondering.... are these really work?

Hi,

I have the weather plugin and it is set to access my zip code (USA) of 54021. It then hangs (forever) trying to get weather info from MSNBC. Tried setting it to St.Paul, MN. but it still hangs.

Can't you set it to a more reliable source for weather, like weather.com, or weatherunderground.com???

Thanks,
FusionRx.

Anyone know the answer to this one?

Does the "export" feature of Xrecord, and rename recording work together?

I use the xrecord xexport feature in my postprocessing.bat to export my show info to a file. If I run rename recording in my pp.bat after the xexport command, will it also rename the dat file?

I know it will rename the comskip file, but I'm not sure about the export.dat

Thanks

Hello,
In looking at the support forum, I read in one of the threads that you can force comskip to run low priority by doing the following:

in PostProcessing.bat, put in...
start /low /MIN /SEPARATE comskip %1

I looked in my gbpvr program dir and did not see any postProcessing.bat file. If this bat file is added now, with gbpvr use it for post processing? Or do I have to configure something else to run comskip this way?

Thanks...

I can't believe this ... somehow WinXP autoupdate got turned on, now I have Media Player 10. And the codecs I had for MP 9 are zapped. Now it complains about no codec when i go to play a DVD. I know it's not really GBPVR related, but does anyone have some uhhh free codecs available?

Hi, I am not sure what the problem with the remote is but it worked great
and then the 0 - 9 Buttons for changing the channels quit working. They
used to show on the screen and then the channel would change. I Installed all the Drivers and Ir remote and Checked all the settings in config settings for the Pvr-150. I have the Channel changer set in Capture source set to No channel changer required. Also did apply the 45 button fix plus set the Use direct access to Hauppuage Remote. I also did unistall all drivers and did use Hwclear and checked the include inf files. Everthing else on the remote works
except for the 0-9 buttons. I have tried to reinstall the Ir remote software
with no luck. any ideas i might try. I have not tried to reinstall GpPVr software
as i would not think it is the problem?.

I use the PVR - 150
NTSC - J
26032
revc199
XP pro
AMD 1.6 gig
512 ram

I have a P3 2.8 with a Hauppauge 150. Whenever I try to view live tv I get a black screen. The tuning assistant does allow me to see channels though. Here are the logs.
