Unable to FF/FRWD

[antsnest]

Sadly no luck with any of them.

I'm starting to consider alternatives (not to the programme, just for playback).

The mux mentioned is only used during recording, so changing the mux would only have an effect on recordings made after changing, nor for old recordings... Considering that you state you have no clue about how things work, maybe this might be good to know. Sorry if it's old news to you

Thanks, not old news but new and useful information.

I'd assumed the MUX was a back end which captured the input stream for processing rather than doing a lot of the processing itself.

Now I know there's one which saves as MPG (which I'm off to find and test) the FF/RWD propblem is no longer relevant. I can use this for live TV and recording while I playback from Realplayer (unless it also resolves the other problem :-) )

I really have to get up to speed on the basics of this stuff. Any pointers to basic guides to how MUXes work?

Thanks for the rapid help.
