Problem starting .ts files playing in PowerDVD Ultra

Gizzmo · 2007-07-30, 11:31

hi,

( all the same with myvideo, so its not only myfilms related !!! )

i use or better wanna use PowerDVD Ultra as player, because of
the bluray and HD-DVD support. I also have some HD .ts files with
h264 and mpeg codec. I set up a database for myfilms and wanna
start, which are on harddrives, directly from myfilms plugin.

The starting of PowerDVD works fine, also HD-DVDs work like they
should, but the normal .ts files make trouble.

Both mpeg2 and h264 .ts files start in PowerDVD, but while the
mpeg2 files only start with audio the h264 files start with a extreme
bitrate of 500 or 700 Mbit / s and because of that load, load and load ...

The strange thing is every time i start one of the .ts files i get the
online registration form, even if i filled it out certain times ...

Does somebody have a solution or a tip where to search the problem ?

would be great, thanks ...

O.K. i tested the same files in the same MediaPortal and PowerDVD version
on my working PC. There the h264 and mpeg2 HD TS-files work fine.

So what can it be :

1. operatings system HTPC has VISTA Home Premium 64bit
working PC has VISTA Ultimate 32bit

2. graphiccard HTPC NVIDIA 8600 GTS ( PCI-E )
working PC ATI x1550 ( AGP )

3. DirectX 10 ( HTPC is DirectX 10 and working PC is DirectX 9 )

4. something else ...

Ohh, i forgot all files play fine directly in PowerDVD ...

Hello Gizzmo,

You could try to switch to mpeg recording in "TV-Server Configuration" -> "Recording" -> "Recording folders". You won't have any further .ts files then.
