Problems with mpg video playback

[ACTCMS]

Is anyone else having problems playing back GBPVR .mpg recordings in NPVR?

Some of mine play fine, but a large percentage of those I've tried don't... (they all play fine with 1.4.7, GraphEdit and GSpot and also on the MVP) - NPVR seems to have problems building the graph...

I've tried different decoders with no effect.

Logs shows playing a good file followed by a bad one - both for NPVR and 1.4.7

How are you creating those files? The pvrx2 native log is reporting a wacky resolution

2010-07-07 23:14:35.628 VERBOSE video resolution is 1024 x 576

By rights that file should not play on the MVP Perhaps upload a 20-50MB sample would help?

Both files are UK DVB-T recordings using the Cyberlink mux then trimmed with MPEGStreamClip. I don't understand the problem with 1024x576 though - isn't that 16x9?

I've never had problems playing this sort of file on the MVP/NMT or the laptop with 1.4.7 - they also play fine on the MVP/NMT with NPVR - my problem is that some of them don't play on the laptop with NPVR.

I can let you have a sample if you like though...

Maximum MP@ML (DVD & MVP) for PAL is 720x576 15Mbs, which is 30% more bandwidth than the MVP can handle FWIW. The aspect ratio flag is what sets 16:9

If you upload a sample to megaupload I'd be happy to look.

Do you want a sample of the file which plays with NPVR or the one which doesn't?

One that doesn't work 20 MB is fine with SD

Martin, I'm having problems with RapidShare - I need to look at other upload sites - back soon, hopefully...

I gave up on Radidshare long ago, that's why I suggested megaupload. I'm on dropbox too or if you want email me 19MB.

Upload took a bit longer than I thought...

No problems here with NPVR Also, in PVRx2 as expected
