Recording not displayed in HD

Warrenpettit · 2009-01-12, 03:53 AM

When I watch one of my HD channels with Live TV, it displays in HD. But when I record that channel, it does not replay in HD. At one point in time, it was replaying in HD. Also, I have a second system that the recorded shows replay in HD. Obviously, I have somehow messed up my first system. Guidance would be appreciated.

That sounds like the type of thing that could only be caused by the video decoder, so try a different video decoder. The recording itself will definitely be HD if it was an HD channel.

Maybe you have your BDA multiplexor is set to Full TS? I think I recorded a HD channel once using this option, and when played back, it played an SD version that was on the same transponder...

I looked and the file that is created as a suffix of mpg on the system where the replay in not HD. So it is not being recorded in HD. On the second system, the suffix is dvr-ms, so that one is recording in HD.

Do a recording then zip and attach the GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log and GBPVRRecordingService.exe=native.log and I'll check what was used to do the recording. If its a digital recording, and the channel is highdef, then it'll definitely contain a highdef in the recording - there is nothing in the application that down-scales digital recordings.

You haven't got two tuners and both have the same channel listed (as SD and HD)
Just that live TV and recordings have different tuner priorities....

Yeah, thats my guess too...

I do have two tuners since it is a Hauppauge 1600. And I don't have duplicate channels. Like I said, I can select a channel via the guide and it would display in HD. But if I then recorded that same program that I was watching in HD, it was recording in SD. Well, I went a head and deleted my channel definitions and recreated everything. Now all is right with the world. Just one of those, go figures.
