After upgrading to 1.3.7, some of my recordings contain a "freeze," during which audio stops and video is frozen. I noticed this happen when simultaneously recording two channels, and both recordings freeze at the exact same point for the exact same duration (45 seconds in the latest case). It will then resume normally. This is fairly infrequent (occuring once during a one-hour show), but happened during the same time last week when I simultaneously recorded the same two shows. There is otherwise no studdering or other problems. The freezing happens during recording, not playback. I have been using an earlier version of gbpvr for years and never had this problem. No other hardware or software changes were made besides the upgrade to 1.3.7. One tuner is an ATI 550, and the other is a Hauppauge 150. Operating system event viewer logs show nothing unusual happening at this time, and no other programs are running to take up processor cycles. The recording service is running at an above normal priority. Please help! Thank you.

There is no sign of anything obvious in the logs.
GB-PVR doesnt really play much of a part in analog recordings other than telling it start and later to stop. Maybe try setting the recording service back to normal priority though, on the off-chance its interfering with things running smoothly. I suspect if you when back to the last release you'd have the same problem.

I've been noticing something similar when recording QAM. Some recordings are fine. Others seem to freeze. Audio continues but the picture freezes. Windows Media Player cannot play the mpeg2.
Is it possible this is problem because I installed TV Pack?

The problem sounds similar, although when I play back the recording and it hits the frozen section, there is no audio. WMP will play the file with the same frozen section.

Are you using Slick skin? My recordings are not good when using Slick-skin.

I am using slick-skin. Doesn't make sense why that should make a difference, but I'll try turning it off...

I'm using the default blue skin.
