Compress Video to AVI with GBPVR ?

[HYBRiD.BLiNG]

Hi all.. There has to be a way to compress and convert video to AVI. format in GBPVR. I have not successfully converted video to AVI. format nor have I been able to compress the video also. There has to be a way GBPVR can perform this conversion. In the processing tab under conversion processing I have the auto-convert MPG recordings to XviD. I either have the wrong settings or I need a plug in to successfully pull this off. I want my output file to be in AVI format with XviD Codecs compressed so that I can transfer files via internet to my online storage manager and website database for online viewing via online DIVX player. Please help.

What device are you recording from, and is this an analog recording or a digital recording?

There is a known issue in the current release with converting from digital .ts files to anything else, but analog .mpg files should convert ok.

If the autoconversion stuff isnt working for you, you can always run other commands from PostRecording.bat.

Yes I have the Hauppauge 1600 internal pci TV tuner and it is a analog signal. I have successfully recorded in mpg but with out the codecs nor the correct output file preferably AVI. How do I access the Post Recording.bat ?

If you set it to convert .mpg to .avi, and to convert 'ASAP', then do a recording and post the GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log, I'll check why its not working.

Here is my settings in Config please let me know If any changes here would solve my issue.

As mentioned above, you'll need to do a sample recording and collect that log for me.
