OK, i should answer to myself. It turns out that Techisat SkyStar S2 PCI DVB-S2 card is just a piece of junk. I'm gonna try another card instead.

MP1 MP2 HELP! Jerky panning DE
The problem you'll be having is with 23.976 content (maybe some 29.97). Like you, my TV can't do 24 (or 23.976) Hz, so the next best option is 59 (really 59.94) Hz as that is 2:3 pull up (every 1st frame is doubled, every 2nd is tripled). That won't be perfectly smooth, but it will be closer than for 60Hz where there needs to be a...

One of the first things i found too, when i searched Google! I have downloaded and installed (and removed) many, many programmes that claim to either playback, or convert to, say, mp3.

Hello, I have been using Gbpvr for the last 6 years and have been very happy with it. Since the switch-over to the new version, Npvr, It just hasn't been working out for me. I still have the greatest respect for Sub and all the other developers over there and appreciate all they do, but I decided it was time for me to look for...

So I'm trying to find the preferred method for entering custom descriptions for files (e.g. where video was taken, family/friends in it, etc). Ideally this information could be accessed inside MP during file browsing by a button push on my MS MediaCenter remote (the 'i' button for instance). As it is, it doesn't seem like the...
