transcode from dvr-ms

[wannabepvr]

I know transcoding from DVR-MS is a two step process, but my current install seems to be stopping after creating the first step; sourcename-temp.mpg file.

I can then manually select the -temp.mpg file and transcode to divX or whatever without any problems. I was just hoping to streamline the process.

The convert log doesn't seem to show any errors. (attached)

Any help aprciated.

Its hard to tell in that log. Can you try starting pvrx2, and just doing the transcode, then zip and attach the pvrx2.exe.log? This will help get rid of a lot of the noise in those logs.

[wannabepvr]

Hopefully there are less busy.

The logs unfortunately dont tell me enough. If you check the process list, has GBPVRConvert terminated?

[wannabepvr]

Yeah, no process by than name running. CPU use is at zero.

Do you close the popup after you start the transcode or leave it on the screen?

[wannabepvr]

Close it, while the first transcode to mpg completes maybe it doesn't initiate the second.

I'll give leaving it open a try.

[sub]

yeah, try leaving it open to see if it behaves differently.

[wannabepvr]

I left the pop-up open after setting the trancode command. It closed itself and terminate the process leaving only the xx-temp.mpg.

To be honest, I'm not really sure. I'll add it to the list of things to check for the next release.
