I am considering swapping my GBPVR's cable box to the newer one that is HD compatable. I just got into recording from the firewire port, and am working on reencoding to mpeg2/DVD.

Mainly I am interested in ways of channel changing it. I am currently using girder with a serial cable on the older Motorola box, and I would prefer that to IR. Can the USB be used?

BTW, I just found this.
http://www.svcd2dvd.com/HDTV2DVD/default.aspx

It converts the .ts file straight to a DVD file structure! I would prefer to convert to 720x480 mpeg2 video and audio so I can watch via MVP.

I searched the forums, and couldn't find anything that quite matched this request, so hopefully it isn't redundant.

My ReplayTV box handles the resume/restart option a bit differently, in that it adds a "Play from beginning" option to the recording menu once you have already watched it at least once.

This is a rather subtle distinction, but moving the resume/restart options to the recording menu, rather than at the beginning of video playback, prevents the user from having to always answer the popup and makes the whole process a bit smoother.

Is this something that has already been discussed and declined, or an option we might see in a future release?

Looking to get one.

Hi

When I delete a show (Make dir options enabled) from the menu, then when I look at the disk there still is a Dir with the name of the show (Only one show in the folder) and also a Comskip Bat file?

I would wish that it did a full clean up.

Another thing Live TV leaves really big files, anyway to delete them automatically?

Cheers
Love the new comskip feature BRILLIANT!!!!

Hello sub,

again a stupid question by me. I copied a good bunch of ICONS for my channels into the right directory (correct ending ".png") and after they are displayed fine.

If i restart GB-PVR there are channels with the ending ".gif" (where do they come from???) and will be displayed instead my beautiful ".png" Channels-Icons.

My Question is: Where do the bad Icons come from? And why comes they back, if i delete them? I wanna only use my beautiful Channel-Icons, not the bad ".gif's"...

i have a pvr 500 right now. I plan to add a 350 in soon. would all video playback be decoded by the 350? or do i have to have the cards listed in a certain order?

In config.xml, I found the followings:

<!-- Aspect Ratio settings -->
<AspectRatio0>0,0,1,1</AspectRatio0>
<AspectRatio1>0,-0.125,1,1.125</AspectRatio1>
<AspectRatio2>0,0.125,1,0.875</AspectRatio2>
<AspectRatio3>0.08,0,0.92,1</AspectRatio3>
<AspectRatio4>-0.05,-0.01,1.04,1</AspectRatio4>
<AspectRatio5>-0.05,-0.089,1.04,1.089</AspectRatio5>
<AspectRatio6>-0.05,-0.17,1.04,1.17</AspectRatio6>
<AspectRatio7>0.08,0,0.92,1</AspectRatio7>

What does these settings mean?

Is it related to the F7 aspect ratio change?

I can get 16:9 aspect ratio, but it is not stretch to full screen. I'm thinking if these settings can help.

Hi Guys,
I currently have my PVR150 using the antena input so I get all the channels from the cable company. But additionally I'd like to add the S-Video input from the same card.
How can I get this input as part of my channel line-up....or any way so I can record programs from that video input?

Thanks for any help.

I am in the UK and I want a DVB card but I want it to work properly with GB-PVR. Which of these is the best supported?

The Videomate one says it supports Microsoft BDA but I dont even know what that is.
Do they both use the 'BDA Recording' in the capture sources and is that better than the 'WDM Software Recording' thing?

Thanks alot.
Paul

Sub, I occasionaly use the Import Recordings (Thanks BTW! Very handy), and I just noticed that after I Import, config.exe makes a config.xml in the folder that had the .xml file I was importing. I typically save the .xml file in the folder with the .mpg I am importing.

It imported correctly, and I didn't change any other settings in config.exe.
