Hi all,
I have a new powerful machine which has been working with GBPVR for the last 6 months without a problem.
Last week I got a new Samsung Spinpoint 1000gb SATA HD. Being SATA of course I just plugged it in and formatted it in windows. That all seemed to go ok. I then copied my media over on to it from the old full drive (250GB IDE drive).
Then rebooted (now 10000 times after playing with services safemode, reinstall GBPVR etc). After rebooting the speed at which the .avi converts is slower than the speed the MVP plays. So ffmpeg is not converting fast enough and writing the xxxxxxx.mpg cahe file fast enough. When I map back to the old drive and run the same file. ffmpeg converts and saves at the lightning speed - about 1m20 after 20 seconds if not more.
So why wont it do it on the bigger, new, newest technology HD? What am I doing wrong.
Is there a bios setting? something is not right! The new super duper hd is useless.
I have 3 HDs.
C: is a Seagate SATA 160gb used for windows and programs and contains GBPVR
D: is a DVD RW. IDE old syle burner
E: is the old 250 GB Seagate IDE drive where the media is stored and works perfectly.
F: the new new super dooper 1000GB Samsung - which is not working with GBPVR or rather ffmpeg.
I dont have RAID setup and I downloaded the latest bios and have reset it to factory default. No overclocking etc.
I have an E8400 3gig duo CPU, 4gig ram etc. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P with one IDE slot on it and like 8 SATA slots.
What should I test next?
Please help------
Regards
Matthew
