I am having a problem with post-show padding on two different systems, one running 1.3.11 under XP and the other running 1.4.7 under WIN7x64. If post-show padding is set to one minute and the padding interval conflicts with another scheduled recording then the metadata is not written to the first recording. The first recording stops and the second recording starts at the scheduled time (as expected, the padding is ignored). The metadata is always written to a recording if the padding does not cause a conflict.
To demonstrate the problem, I set post-show padding to one minute and set to record "Ask This Old House" from 0830 to 0900 and then "Yard Crashers" from 0900 to 0930. After the second recording completed, I ran RecoverRecordings to dump the metadata from the two recordings with the following results.

The logs for the above recordings are attached.
