Am I missing something with DivX playback

[sub]

Wishful thinking on my part perhaps, but I was wondering if they had a firmware upgrade now which would allow MediaMVP to process DivX/MPEG4 natively?

No, affraid not. The Hauppauge does pretty much the same thing as GB-PVR, and transcodes it to MPEG2 for playback on the MVP.

Although I got GBPVR transcoding on the fly working I found the hard disk quickly getting cluttered up with the .mpg files generated so abandonned that approach.

It only uses the one temporarily .mpg file, always with the same filename, which is recreated every time it needs to transcode a file for the MVP, so it one be cluttering up your hard drive with random .mpg files. The filename is called MVPXXXXXXXX.mpg, where XXXXXXXX is the MVPs MAC address.

Ah, I had identified the file before but did not realise it would only ever create one file.

I'm surprised that GBPVR has a tab for the MediaMVP but doesn't include these bits within its program so it can stream mpeg4 stuff to the MVP in mpeg2 format.

Mine does, including HD h.264. I pretty much literally took the MVP out of the box, plugged it in, and set the GBPVR server tab to 1. :confused: That's with a pretty decent Core2Duo, though.
