You may have some difficulties watching DVR-MS videos while they're still recording. The transcoding to MPEG2 will probably only go as far as the duration at the time your started the transcode.

That's probably true as I had problems forwarding past the last adds... Does this mean timeshift will never work beyond a certain point??

Respect due Sub, I can't believe you've released all this for free when msoft cost x billion to develope MCE..

:eek:

Correct. You're better off using the Cyberlink mux and recording to .MPG files if you own an MVP.

jksmurf is correct, except that PowerDVD doesnt contain the file.

Apologies for that apparently PowerDVD contains a codec, not a Mux. method (B) works though :-)

k.

Can confirm using the cyberlink mux means gbpvr is recording to mpg - all good... however.. found this evening wmplayer was hogging all of one cpu core and unable to play movies. VLC was unaffected.

System restored. I guess this was to do with mux registration. I've redone it and saved the .ax file to the gbpvr directory instead of the system32 directory. But then I don't remember it not working yesterday??

Anyone heard of this before?

Working again now fine after restore and re-registering.

VLC was unaffected.

VLC uses its own built-in decoders

[bpowell555]

That's what I figured... still not sure what causes the system to fall over after a period..

Cheers

I think this was because I installed some dodgy beta encoding software called "super" by erightsoft... *phew*
