Afterwards there is a "Y:\sat\N24 Forschung & Fliegen\N24 Forschung & Fliegen_20060812_16301700.mpg" file with 0 bytes.

It only happens to about 1 out of 10 recordings - I haven't been able to find a pattern yet.

Thanks

I seem to recall someone having problems with filenames containing the ampersand (&) character before... could that be your problem? Don't remember if a solution was found or not, though.

i recorded the whole 'nightmares & dreamscapes' Stephen King series without problems,but that nasty ampersand does tend to be a control character in some programming languages..
it played havoc with my batch files...[batch files can't handle the name,no matter what you do] tho you may be able to use short filenames in the batch files.. [%~s1 instead of %1]
if you use postprocessing or parallelprocessing.bat other such batches,check them...they'll choke on that filename..
hope that helps..

I checked and I had the same problem with "Spiegel TV Extra_20060809_23300015.mpg" (I don't have the logs from back then) - so it's something else..?

Btw, the y: is a local hd, not a network drive.

Did you apply the patch from the sticky 'v0.97.13 survival guide' thread? Post #7 I think.

[chris-at]

I applied it just now. Never had (or noticed) any signal problems though.

I'll schedule a few recordings for today to see if it helps. Thanks!

[chris-at]

Unfortunately this didn't help. I still got the same error today - the log (attached) shows different error messages though.

You've got lots of Access database messages errors listed in your logs.

How big is your gbpvr.mdb file?

ok, it wasnt the specific problem I was thinking of then.
