dvr-ms multiplex

HELP!!!

I dunno what happened! I've all of a sudden gotten crappy recordings with the dvr-ms setting! I checked the multiplex checker utility, and it says that there are no multiplexes in my machine! I thought it said the dvr-ms was there before, but now it's goine. how do I get it back?

I'm using xp with the second update.

Thats the complete list of mux options. It always shows them all. Having them listed here does not mean they installed on you machine. If you select an option that is not available, then it'll automatically use the first other available mux option it finds.

To see which muxes you have installed, you need to run muxchecker. The DVR-MS and Transport Stream options are special cases, and are not shown by MuxChecker. Transport Stream is always available. DVR-MS is always available if you run Windows XP SP1 or higher.

So in summary, MuxChecker has confirmed you do not have a CyberLink, InterVideo, SS or Hauppauge MPEG2 Muxer, so you'll not be able to record .mpg files.

After doing a search I found this in another help thread....

soooo I guess I didn't delete it, but I'm getting horrible HDTV recordings all of a sudden. I can watch tv normally and all works good, but when it records, it seems to keep it in a 720x480 format rather than the 16x9 format. and it is very jerky!

any thoughts on this?

Well I finally figured it out!! I installed Nero. Nero installs it's own decoder and my system was using that as the default. Once I uninstalled it, then it worked perfectly.

Now the question is... does anyone know how I can install nero and still use my ati decoders?

this microsoft utility allows you to view a list of decoders on your system and lets you set a prefered decoder. im not sure if the one you set is a system-wide setting or just for Windows media player though. try it and see!
