I have a problem and I hope someone has a better solution than I do.
I don't know how many people using the pvr150 have run into the bug the drivers have with timing in the mpgs, but I have a serious issue with it about once every 4 or 5 videos I record. A video may be an hour long, but when I go to play it in gbpvr or whatever, it may show the video is 1 min, 10 seconds long, or something silly like that. Playback is fine as long as I don't try to fast forward or skip. If I do that it jumps all over the place, to the end or the beginning, and then there's no getting back to where you were.
When I have a screwed up video with a lot of commercials I'd like to skip, I've found I can remux the file and then it's fine. One of the plugin writers - don't recall who - made a group of files available for doing this. It includes a retime.bat file that with the help of some other utilities demux and remuxes. It works ok most of the time (not always though) and it takes quite a while to run. Does anyone know of a better/faster way to reset an mpg whose time is all screwed up? Is there just some header record in the file that needs to be reset, or do I really need to remux the entire file to get the time values corrected? It's a real bummer when you sit down to watch a two hour video and realize to be able to skip you need spend an 30 minutes remuxing the thing.
Thanks,
Tim
