zero length recordings

Re: zero length mpg recordings

I have intervideo, cyberlink,SS, ATI mpeg mux, microsoft dvr-ms mux's installed or at least available in BDA Multiplexer Menu.

When I try to record to .mpg using cyberlink, intervideo ,ATI or SS I can see the .mpg and .dvsub file however only dvsub increases in size to approx 50k then stops the .mpg file remains zero in size.

I can record dvr-ms ok & play on PC however my MVP will not play them.
I can record transport stream .ts ok

Found: InterVideo Multiplexer
FILE: C:\Program Files\InterVideo\Common\Bin\ivimux.ax
VERSION: 3.0.88.0

What's wrong?

I reinstalled InterVideo WinDVD Creator2 / WinRIP & WinDVD5 can you tell me where i can obtain a working mpg multiplexer or is that not the problem?

Other than small niggles GBPVR is or will be great when I can make it easy enough for the missus to record stuff when I'm away ;-)

GBPVR v0.98.13
Freecom DVB-T
BDA recording plugin (working)

Given you only have the Intervideo mux installed, it'll always be using the Intervideo mux regardless of which option you selected. The intervideo mux is pretty crappy, and almost certainly the cause of your problem.

I reinstalled InterVideo WinDVD Creator2 / WinRIP & WinDVD5 can you tell me where i can obtain a working mpg multiplexer or is that not the problem?

If you do a forum search, you'll find some download locations of the Cyerblink mux. From memory, most people get it from one of the twinhan software download on their site, or from AutoDVRConvert, or its installed with Cyberlink PowerVCR. The ATI mux is in a product called something like ATI Digital VCR.

Hi Sub

Thanks, I was misled by what I saw in MuxChecker & XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility believing I already had choice of multiplexer filters.

I obtained and registered Cyberlink MpgMux.ax v 5.0.2022
and
Unregistered Intervideo ivimux.ax as you said it was crappy!

now MuxChecker only shows:-

Found: CyberLink MPEG Muxer
FILE: C:\WINDOWS\system32\MpgMux.ax
VERSION: 5.0.2022

Now recording mpg ok,

All I have to do now is convert remaining .dvr-ms to mpg
