The disadvantage of using say a 32KB cluster is that a 1 byte file will actually take up 32KB on disc, so if you have many small files you end up wasting large amounts of storage space. In Windows Explorer right-click on a small file (try and kind one under 4KB) and choose Properties, there you'll see two sizes reported, the actual...

I'm sure that you must have put something wrong inside the database, because if the Hauppauge IR blaster config utility can change the channels so should MP also. The field bExternal only tells MP to use the IR-blaster. So a 0 here means no use of blaster and 1 means use blaster. So the first thing to get working is the changing of...

shanek It does, but if you swtch channels, the timestream buffer is deleted and a new one created, also the same if you close TV down. So example if your 20 minutes into watching a 1 hour show and you decide you want to record and save it. that will happen and you will get a file size of 9kb which links to the SBE file which will...

Yes, that's the one. And if you want the CyberLink filter to be used, then you need to change the Merits to make the CyberLink one higher - I would suggest you try increasing the CyberLink to, say 0x41000000, rather than reducing the Mpeg2Dec Merit. Sorry, I don't know anything about Gabest.....maybe someone else can advise?
