It would be nice if, when having transcode set to ASAP, the finished recording didn't show in the 'What's New' and 'Ready' menus until after conversion was complete and, instead, stayed in the 'Pending' menu but marked as 'Converting' or similar.
What I'm wondering is if, for example, two films finish at the same time. It takes around 3-5mins to transcode a film from dvr-ms to mpeg2 on my system. Suppose I go to What's New and start watching the one that is still waiting in the transcode queue. A few minutes later, it goes through transcoding then the original dvr-ms file is deleted while I'm watching it.
In reality, I'd spot that I was watching a dvr-ms recording on my MVP (duration on OSD timeline counting up) but my wife wouldn't. It would be cleaner (for my household anyway) if it didn't appear as an available recording until conversion was complete. Especially when ASAP is used and also the 'delete original file' option.
Cheers,
Brian
