Hi,
I recently switched to the ATI Mux in the BDA Multiplexer. Wierd thing is that when I now record shows using the Analog tuner on the HVR1600, when I open and play back the recordings created with this Mux (in GBPVR, VLC, WMP or VideoRedo) it plays back as if it was being fast forwarded at twice the speed. Moreover, VLC shows that the recording is only half the length as the show's actual length.
I understand the BDA Multiplexer should not affect analog recordings, right? So I tried this - recorded ~3min of a show with the ATI Mux selected in BDA Multiplexer and verified the above behavior. Then, switched the BDA Multiplexer to TS Mux and recorded the same show for ~3min and the resultant file played back fine.
Not sure if BDA Mux is affecting above behavior or not but would appreciate any thoughts on what might be happening.
Edit: Some more info:
Above behavior with ATI Mux happens only if I let the show record till the end. So here are the scenarios I tried and the resultant playback:
1. Started recording in the middle of the show slot and stopped recording before the scheduled end time: mpeg file played back fine
2. Started recording in the middle of the show and let it record till the end of the show: mpeg file played back messed up
3. Started recording from the beginning of the show and then cancelled recording before the show ended: mpeg file played back fine.
Tried same scenarios as above with TS Mux and all resultant mpegs played back fine.
BTW, I switched to using recording in mpeg versus TS due to playback issues on client PC as described here.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
