Hi Sub !
I got 2 little problem cases here;
Recurring recordings: I try to schedule some to take place Mon-Fri, but somehow GB-PVR seems to only schedule the first of the five weekdays next to come (and I need to re-enter the recording command every weekday even if I do it from the recurring menu & of course set to Mon-Fri). It doesn't do that when I record every day of the week. Also, should GB-PVR automatically update the "Pending" list ? I ask because if you go in it, it ususally won't list much further than the upcoming week (so I wonder whether I need to re-enter recurring recording instructions once a week).
I/F with Plextor ConvertX M402U; I'm wishing to use the MPEG2 formats available by this device. All is OK until I try to cut out commercials using the Intervideo software supplied with the ConvertX; no matter what permutations I've made of quality settings between those available with this software and GB-PVR, I always end up with a lengthy recompression (which won't happen except immediately before & after cuts when I capture with the Intervideo software & maintain the same quality settings). I guess what's required is the exact compression settings at both ends; how do I achieve that ? (I went into GB-PVR settings but it doesn't seem to memorize settings changes, like default from Medium to something else).
Thanks in advance !
