I posted this first at the divx encoders forum.
I've already mentioned that my Divx files sometimes encode only some of the video while encoding all of the audio--although I haven't had that issue recently. Perhaps the driver upgrade/XP SP2 upgrade, GBPVR upgrade addressed that somehow.
Shortly after that report, some of my mpeg (and I just noticed a few avi files) recordings started coming up short. Sometimes 10 minutes short, sometimes it would cut off right after it starts. I have been nearby before, and the 'ready to record' light will shut off before the recording is finished in those instances, but the log files don't indicate that the recording didn't finish.
Here's a gbpvr recording service log from a CSI NY episode that only has 9minutes and 39 seconds recorded:
To me it looks as though it finished, but again, length is 9:39. Other files have cut off only a few minutes, or just after the recording began.
Now, on some (not every) MPEG recordings that do finish, the audio is coming up out of sync (this has not happened to a divx file yet). On the divx forum, someone claimed that syncing issues were the purvue of the software. I'm not sure if that's true or not, is it?
I have XP Pro, SP2, a Pentium M Dothan 715E laptop with 512mb of RAM and no particular drain on it's resources. I'm using GBPVR v09310, and I recently updated to the most recent driver for my TV402U from Plextor's site.
Do any of these issues sound familiar? My searches only revealed someone else who was having trouble with recordings ending early that seemed to solve it by going back to v.91.05. Is there an archive of older versions of gbpvr so that I could try that?
