Long TV shows won't search - Page 2

the incomplete recording is the input of the conversion and makes a new succesfull mpeg ( the input is just a file, complete or not)

i have no idea of a solution, i look after different things:
drive space, quota settings, power control settings.
the problem is there also not always, but for mee to many.
i hate it when i record a movie en the plot is missing.
at this moment i convert the recordings automaticaly en skip first to the end to see everythings is there

What are you using to convert them? I downloaded a trial version of something but it kind of sucks. I'd like to find something better. I see a lot of people refering to doing this from within media portal. How do you do that?

thats simple: go to my tv, choose recorded tv en ther is an option "compress"
with this option you can convert to mpeg by default.

with my last two recordings i can see that's the recordings stops at midnight. and that was before the given stop time.
maybe thats the problem for the corrupted recording
i don't no why this happens, does somebody know???????

I actually tried using that to convert them from within media portal and it didn't seem to work. If I select a program to convert it pauses for a second like it's trying to do something and then nothing happens. I wonder if the two problems are related.

my problem is resolved, it was a stupid thing from my side
look at Recording tv corrupt for the solution

ca n vt · 2006-09-03, 18:16

I'm sorry, I don't know much about that. Could you maybe give me an explanation of how to check to see if this is my problem as well? Since I have Windows XP should this even be a problem?

If your drive is fat32 which does sound likely.

Right click with mouse on hard disk icon C: usually and select properties, look for file system.
This goes for any hard disks you may have installed.

Ok, I have been using an external hard drive that is FAT32 I bought two of them and both are. I took the one that I have not been using and formatted it to NTFS and am currently recording a movie to see if this fixes the problem. If it does is there an easy way to convert the other one so that I don't lose everything that's already on it?

Format one NTFS then copy files from one to the other, then format the other one.

Only way i can think of saving files, as formatting will delete your files (yes we know it does not really but thats not for here).

No quick fix.

Regards

yup - go to command prompt, and run "convert x: /fs:ntfs:", where x: is the drive letter of the external drive you want to convert.
no data loss this way
