I'm using an ATI Theater 550 - based card , PAL version.
For some reason, despite defining some of the quality settings to record at CVD resolution (i.e. 352x480 for NTSC or 352x576 for PAL) , it always records at full DVD resolution (720x576) , regardless of quality setting.
It may help to mention that I'm using the latest version, and that previously capturing had the nasty PAL capturing at NTSC resolution 720x480 bug.
I had disabled that by forcing in direct.ini to capture at PAL ForceStandard=16
And now it captures correctly at maximum res (but only that)
Hope you can verify such a problem and give a solution.
I have done a complete reinstall of GBPVR (9413). After setting up my recording source and EPG source i am trying to update my EPG guide (Zap2it) and am getting the following error:
9/26/2005 2:54:16 PM.265 ERROR [127] Error UpdateEPG()'ing: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

It would look like my username and password are incorrect, but when i go to the zap2it website i can log in without issue. As well, i have taken down my firewall just in case. I have had GBPVR up and running without issue over the last year, so this error is quite strange. Thanks in advance.
Is there a way to playback recordings in 'compressed time'. That is, play them back slightly faster than what was recorded (for example, a 1hr recorded show played back in 55minutes). I know the audio may start to sound funny when it's sped up too much, but there might be a point where it still sounds acceptable. My ultimate goal with this feature would be to watch a 1 hour show in 30 minutes (once all the commercials are removed and recording is sped up)!
The latest Comkip77.zip file that can be downloaded from http://mk.kaashoek.com/gbpvr/ has a comskip.exe with an integrated mpeg viewer.
When started with the -w switch a debugwindow will open.
During the processing progress will be shown in a graphical way.
Once finished the mpeg preview positions to frame 1.
Then it is possible using keyboard keys and the mouse to review the results by scanning through the mpeg file.
Its is possible to jump from black frame to black frame and from cutpoint to cutpoint.
This version has been tested on PAL and NTSC
Please read the included debugwindow.rtf for how-to-use.
Please read the included tuning.rtf on how to use the debugwindow for optimizing comskip.ini
Again, any feedback is welcome.
Although I don't know if anyone would do this very often, I'm encountering a problem doing it on my system. I have a PVR500 and a PVR150 installed in my system. When recording the PVR500 tuners get used first and when watching LiveTV the PVR150 tuner is used.
During a little 2 minute test record (to check some contrast/saturation/brightness changes), I also was watching on LiveTV the same channel that I was recording with one of the PVR500 tuners. I then exited out of LiveTV, went into recordings and cancelled the test recording. I then went back to the Ready option of Recordings and played the test recording. Here's the weird part -- the only thing that was in the test recording was the LiveTV buffer of about 11 seconds. That's it.
When I go to the folder I've designated for recordings, there is no folder for the show I was test recording, and definitely no video files. However, when I go back into GBPVR and look in recordings, the test recording is supposedly there, but it's the wrong recording.
I have only found this happening under these circumstances. Meaning, I have frequently been recording three different shows at one time, and they've never been mixed up before. I have also been recording one or two shows at the same time as watching LiveTV, but never the same channel on LiveTV that I was recording (if that makes sense).
Any ideas (or should I just not do that? haha). Is the problem that I'm cancelling the recording which causes GBPVR to get mixed up?
I was wondering if there was a way to sort the reoccurring directory in Record? Right now it is displayed in the order which I added the shows. Thanks.
Being as sub already locked the 94.13 thread and a few people posted live tv stutter problems (I guess I wasn't the only one who's had these problems) I thought I'd start a new thread for people to post in here with their live tv stutter problems.
My config: 94.12, PVR350 and Blackbird cards. Don't know what other info would be useful to trace down the problem. Someone posted this problem started appearing after 93.10 (if I'm not mistaken).
