Any suggestions for a newb on how to take my records with me in a smaller footprint. Divx comes to mind, or Xvid or whatever. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My laptop harddrive is not too big and I don't need the files to be perfect quality anyway.

THanks!

When I select a video from the videos plugin (either an .iso or a .vob, thats all i have tried) I cant seems to stop, pause, forward, rewind, or exit. All I can do is close gbpvr and restart it to stop watching the movie.

Am I missing something?

This isn't really a support question, but I was wondering what resolutions and bitrates most people record at.

I was just using medium, but that is 2gb per hour approx. I know cable isnt coming in at DVD quality, so does it make sense to waste HD space by recording at 720x480?

Has anyone found a perfect compromise of decent quality vs. space for a plain old TV?

BTW does anyone know what the resolution of normal Cable/Satellite TV is?

First, wow! I got my mvp and have been playing around and must say I am very impressed! Now that I am officially a "user" I am taking more of an intrest of where sub is headed.

There is one item that really cripple the package,a dn I am wondering if it will be addressed. The live tv feature is truely unusable. I say either fix it or just get rid of it. I have a lag of around 5 seconds or more to change a channel and that simply wont fly. I thought it was jsut a limitation of the mvp interface but the pc version is crippled in much the same way.

I guess that snapstream beyond tv has spoiled me, if any of you have uised the most recent version of this package you will know what I mean.

I guess we are talking a free program here and I am not in anyway bashing what has been done. I fully plan on digging in on some plugin ideas I have and more than willing to help where I can.

Lets see where we can take this thing.

I know that GB-PVR doesn't support DVB cards yet but I thought I'd ask this here as the Hauppauge forum hasn't been much help...

I have a custom built box with a PVR 350 running very nicely with GB-PVR for analogue TV.

I thought I'd see if I could get a Nova-t with the Hauppauge WinTV stuff running in parallel to record some Freeview channels over Christmas but the two of them really don't like each other (the cards, not GB-PVR).

Has anyone else got these two cards running together in the same box? If I disable the PVR 350 drivers I can get the Nova-t to work (sort of) but otherwise, the WinTV apps won't start.

I know the current Nova-t stuff is flakey but I managed to get things working by putting the card in my other PC so I know the card is OK.

Any advice gratefully received.

Regards,
Brian

Can anyone help with install of this program, I am trying to install GB-PVR 0.23.13 on an XP Home SP2 machine and I get an 1720 error when I try to install this program. Has anyone had this problem and or know of a work around. Thanks to anyne that may be able to help.

I found my problem on the wiki site and I have the program installed now.

Does this card work with GB-PVR ? Will it be supported?

I have seen that people are using the MVP on wireless, but I was wondering if anyone is using it with 802.11b. 11mbps is cutting it pretty close for higher quality video streaming. I already have 802.11b equipment and would hate to have to replace it all to go A or g.

Also if you are using the MVP with wireless, post your config and experience, if you wouldn't mind (11b or not). I'd like to get a good idea of what is working well.

Got all the files from shspvr and installed them in the order suggested with restarts in between, but when its asking for a driver it cannot find it, I have even tried to manually point it to the extracted archives, no luck. I have also tried the drivers on hauppauge's site and it doesn't detect them either.

Am I missing something obvious? :/

I must agree with you all - GBPVR is a good program - I am just starting up and I am still wondering which program to use - but GBPVR is my number one at present!

I must express my gratitude to SUB and the people making plugins so that nonprogrammers like me can use such a good product. And also the forum is very useful - I have actually spent a lot of hours last week to see what GBPVR and plugins can do - and I have still things to discover - just great!!

My wish:
In Sweden there is a possibility to have a webEPG where you can set recordings on the web from any computer - or from my mobile(cell)phone,  and the PC at home using WIN2000 and in the future BeyoundTV (GBPVR?) will poll (every 10 minutes - user configurable) the recording request and record the film.
This way I can start a recording even when on vacation.

I would really like to have this feature but the GBPVR has other good functions e.g. the wide range of functionality and also via the MediaMVP.

So I am trying to see how I can have both - e.g. using Win2000 polling from the webEPG and GBPVR for the rest including viewing recordings in GBPVR that was made by Win2000 somehow.

I do have trouble starting win2000 when GBPVR is running - and the possibility of conflicts when setting recordnings in different program is another problem.

is there a way to have GBPVR check on a website if a new recordings are set - and then fetch the parameters?
