I was having a problem getting the video and audio to sync properly. I switched the mpeg2 video decoder that I was using and it caused my gbpvr to crash. So I just reinstalled gbpvr. Now, when I try to watch LiveTV I only get audio and not video. So I went and dowloaded some codecs and decoders but after installing them they dont seem to be showing up in the config menu of gbpvr. Can anyone reccomend a good mpeg 2 video decoder? and where can I download it?

I have plextor convertx tv402u, and I was using gbpvr version .92.11 something. I just upgraded to the 0.93.10, but I was wondering if there was a known issue with that previous version regarding recordings having the video stop part-way thru while the audio is still encoded? It didn't happen with any consistency. Most of the recordings had no problem. The first of two times that this happened, it was near the very end of the recording. The second time was in the first 10 minutes.

Both recordings with which this happened were encoded with the convertx's built-in hardware divx encoder, if that makes any difference.

I was just hoping that this might have been a software problem, and that it might now be resolved with the upgrade. Since it was only an intermittant problem, I don't have any way of really testing it--which makes me loathe to use the divx recording option, because I don't want to start losing stuff I really want to watch, just in case this is an issue with my capture device.

Thanks! I appreciate any comments.

Has anyone come across a solution to the problem of viewing NTSC videos on a PAL MVP (and vice-versa I imagine)?

A lot of my downloaded music videos are NTSC and because of the different standard, there's a large black bar at the bottom of the screen, sometimes taking up as much as half of the screen, and the rest of the picture is distorted.

I know this is an MVP problem rather than GB-PVR (I asked once before) but I wondered if anyone had found a solution to it?

I guess the only practical answer is to convert them to PAL, does anyone know of a program that'll do it without too much loss?

Thanks,
Simon.

Jeff,

is it possible to get the red button text display changed when the plugin is in jukebox mode, so that it displays that the red button deletes a track from playlist rather than the current disply of "Sorted First to Last"

thanks

My sister has a PVR250 and I was wanting to get her something for her birthday and I was thinking about getting her an Xcard. Her computer is right beside her TV so I don't think an MVP is any use to her. What do people think of the X Card?? I have a PVR350 does the Xcard interface similarily or does it have the desktop and everything? How about the xcard versus a good video card with Svideo output?

An opinions appreciated,

thanks
Dana

Hi everybody. First off, GBPVR is great!!!
but I have a few, albeit probably newbie, questions.

I recorded some shows using the PVR function...tried playing them back in GBPVR and Windows Media Player...in both of them, I can't fast forward at all!
However, when I use PowerDVD (prog from my DVD+RW) I can fast forward no problem!

am I missing a codec or something?
I'm running WinXP Pro SP2.

The other thing is that in LiveTV, I can pause it but I can't seem to fast forward in there either!
um....also.... Where do I install commskipp and plugins?
and lastly, when I look for skins in the config, I only have one skin installed! Isn't it supposed to come with 3?....
thanks!
(and please be gentle :o )
