Incomplete Recordings....

[danger]

Hi,
I've just upgraded to v96.12 using the latest BlueMCE2 skin and now I can't seem to record programs over 1.5hrs. I have tried to record shows that were 2 or 3hours in length three time, and I've been only able to get 1.5hrs. Although I have two PVR150s installed in my PC, I made sure that there were no other shows being recorded at the time. The TV Guide (downloaded from Zap2It) seems to correctly indicate that the shows are 2 or 3 hours long, but they always end up truncated in the recordings.

I was using v94.12 with the BlueMCE2 skin prior to the upgrade and everything was recording fine.

Any suggestions on what I should look for or what I am doing wrong?

p.s. Sub: congrats on the new baby!

What file system are you using NTFS or FAT32?

How big was the file when it stopped recording?

Hi,
I'm using FAT32 filesystem on a Duron 900 running WinXP with 1.25GB of RAM. There's still plenty of space on my harddisk that holds the recordings. All the shows that were cut off seem to have a similar file size of about 4.194Gbytes (I record all my shows on the high quality setting). Is this a filesystem limit that I am hitting?
Thx!

Yep fat32 has a max filesize of 4gb., format your disk to ntfs for larger filesizes.

Do not format it, just use the convert command in a cmd prompt. Type convert /? for the help on what to do.
