I've recently tried GB-PVR and I think it's a great program. I have an ATI TV Wonder Elite, and have to say, with the most recent version, it works great.
I was wondering though, if some features could be added which would make it much more attractive to me and many more users...
First of all, I would like to say, I understand the concept of GB-PVR so these features may not be appropriate for GB-PVR in itself but rather a seperate spin-off program.
The basic idea behind these features is to make the program more friendly for those who want to also use it as their complete capture solution.
By this I mean, having a capture mode which gives quick adjustments and profiles to source, resolutions, bitrates, codecs, etc, and also include a frame drop counter.
This would essentially be a 'virtualdub capture mode' with one BIG difference; it would properly handle all of the currently supported cards, aka hardware mpeg-2 capture, with the choice of doing software capture to a codec if the user deems necessary.
This mode would also not concentrate on an EPG, simply let you choose the source (and channel) and settings and let you capture, reporting the status.
Adding quick edit tools to chop / split / edit out commercials after capture would be excellent but not necessary.
I suggest this because I think it would be a great addition to GB-PVR, a quick capture mode if you so choose to use your XBox, VCR, Camcorder etc and because this damn TV Wonder Elite I have, has been out for a year now and ATI has moved from a great, capable tv application to a micky mouse piece of crap called Cyberlink PowerEnema, stripping the user of the most crucial functions when capturing.
Believe you me, if this mode was implemented, GB-PVR would attract many many more users and spread like wildfire for those who own this ATI card.
I just have tried several times to delete the Xmedia le zip file from my drive and I keep getting a message of cyclic redundancy. After my second attempt to delete the computer rebooted and when it came back up windows did a lot of "error correction" or some such. The test recordings on the drive are now corrupted.
What I want to know is what could be causing it? And is the cyclic redundancy responsible for the corruption?
My C drive suddenly lost it's boot record so I had to replace it. When I booted up and looked at my recordings most of them are corrupted. For example - 1 hours shows athat are 1.6GB are actually 7 minutes long part of another show. Not all of them were corrupted, just most of them. I am afraid to hookup the other drives I have recordings on for fear the same thing will happen to them.
I always kept the drive my recordings were stored on in good shape, defragged, etc. Is there anyway I could recover the recordings?
first of all i would like to say that GBPVR is awesome, and developing in very exciting ways. I had been using an old old version (maybe from late 2004?) and i just decided to add some hardware to my PVR (including a DVD burner) which led me to update my GBPVR and....oh my! Very nice!
Anyhow, here is where I am at: I want to be able to do two things with the DVD burner: burn TV shows (with comskip points as chapters) and rip DVDs to my computer, then be able to watch them or burn them.
I thought MyVideos could do all this, but clearly I do not know how to configure it (or I am wrong).
I have all the requisite software installed (I think), including DVDDecrypter, all the software called for in myvideos (binaries etc), Nero 6.6.0.16, Demon Tools, etc. I configured it as I thought I am supposed to (in myvideos plugin setup dvddecrypter path is right, there is a DVD temp folder) but when I put in a DVD I cannot click the "Copy DVD" button?
How can I rip the DVDs into ISOs, then mount them when I want to and then burn them when I want to? I have D-Tools installed and its pointed to the right directory in the config setup.....
I'm struggling to set up my Hauppage Nova-t USB2 device to work with GB-PVR. It worth noting that the device has installed fine and the WinTV2000 software works fine. However, according to this forum it should be compatible and work with GB-PVR, but I can't seem to find the right configuration. The device isn't specifically listed in the 'Edit Recording Source' 'capture Card Type' list...so which one should I use? Or is there something else I need to do to get the TV working through GB-PVR?
is there any way to enable "live preview" on an MVP?
I have the "use live preview mode if possible" selected. It's right on the PC but on the MVP it is always in timeshift mode. Possibly machine specific, anybody find a way to force live preview?
also on the MVP whenever the OSD is up, the entire screen gets dark, not blank, just kind of like looking through a dark translucent transpanency.
This does not happen on the PC, any ideas?
after upgrading to the latest version, I noticed an extra option under "misc" in the config-tool. According to this option I should be able to generate teletext-subtitles into a .srt-file.
I know my pvr350 is able, I also receive PAL-teletext, living in The Netherlands, with subtitles in teletext-page 888, so only two questions remain:
1) what are the settings/actions, to generate srt-files?
2) does it mean that both srt-files and the mpeg-files are created while recording?
Did I already mention that gbpvr is a pretty solid peace of work? It is!
I'm having some very strange tuning issues - here's what's happening...
Hardware - Hauppauge PVR-250
A couple of channels (UK Channel 5 in particular) have quite noticable interferance. The really strange thing is that if I view them with WinTV they are fine!
I can't figure out how there can be a difference in picture quality when the same tuner is being used.
