Hi guys,
I came across a message at the GBPVR forums about a DXVA+VMR9 bug. I've been afflicted with this for years, and now I'm able to try a variety of DVR solutions. Hope this helps someone

MP has support for reading those tags by default (I think it is actually the tagreader you found, but it is now integrated in MP). So you you should not add extra things. If you are having problems with reading those tags post a message in the support area of the forums.

There are some quite interesting posts on other HTPC forums about this issue. It seems my "jerky" video from timeshifting live TV after doing some FBW/FFW could be related to this particular bug in DX9.0c. However, I don't have this problem when using the internal MPEG2 codec...

TARGETDIR="E:\HTPC Test\MP"
or just leave the parameter for default. The funny thing was, standard msi parameter INSTALLDIR was ignored. Had to check the log to find it.

There is a very simple way to edit out the "lead", "lag" times and commercials out of your recorded DVR-MS files.
