ATSC/HD Recordings Not Found

[rogersjd]

I have installed a HVR-1600 card and I can watch cable and ATSC programming without an issue. When I record from analog cable it works great too, but when I try to record from the ATSC programming it doens't save a file anywhere. It says it is recording the show under pending recordings, but when the file is done recording it is no where to be found. It is not under Ready Recordings or anywhere on the HDD.

I have try going thru the forums for about 3 hours now trying to determine the problem. I did run Muxchecker and it says I have no MUX on there, but then I read that the Muxchecker will not find the MS version. Please help.

GBPVR Ver 1.29
OS: Windows Server 2003
Intel Celeron process Duo 2.5 Ghz
Mem 512k
HDD Space 2TB

I dunno. Maybe the Windows 2003 server doesnt have the DVR-MS that is present on XP. If not, then you'll either need to find a way to install it, or try to install the ATI or Cyberlink mux and us that instead.

Is there a way to check to see if I have the MS version needed?

If google "dvr-ms windows server 2003" you'll find plenty of hits on the subject.

Sounds like you need to do this: http://blog.imbored.us/2005/07/30/Playin...r2003.aspx

Actually just a few minutes ago I found the fix.

Windows Server 2003 does not support dvr-ms files unless you force it to, which is very easy.

Just copy the following files from an XP Pro SP2 machine (these files are located in c:\window\system32):

encdec.dll
sbe.dll
sbeio.dll

Then copy these files to the same directory on the Window Server 2003 box (c:\window\system32)

Last, on the server box go to Start - Run and type these two commands

regsvr32 encdec.dll [Hit Enter]
regsvr32 sbe.dll [Hit Enter]

This will then give Windows Server 2003 the ablity to record using he dvr-ms filter.

I did a test and it worked great. I just need to get it to plan on the client side computer now.



Sub - Thanks for the quick responses.
