So yes, I think your problem is codecs problem..
If you are able to play SD MSDVR with my patch and HD DVR is not possible, then there is a Codec problem.. check with automatic codec selecction or set powerDVD as codec..
iosub,

FYI - I used Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility to set nVidia Decoder as preferred decoder and I can now play ATSC HD, ATSC SD, and NTSC.

I have no idea why setting it as preferred decoder only in MediaPortal did not fix the problem...I have attached a screenshot of the decoders I also had installed in case you are interested to see.

I hope this tip helps others who wish to play dvr-ms files created on a Media Center Edition 2005 RU2 machine and are using the patch created by iosub.
