[QUOTE="revs, post: 273637, member: 42810"] The timshifting is always active, whether you pause/rewind/record or not! When yu select a channel to wach, MP starts to timeshift it, and then starts to play the timeshifted file. i.e. what you see if the timeshifted file, not the video direct from the DVB card. Regarding the number of files, I believe that the idea is that many smaller files are easier to timeshift than one big one, i.e. instead of one big file, its broken up into manageable chunks (this is just theory, someone more knowledgeable should confirm this!) If you RAM disk is 1GB, then I would not make 4x 256MB files - thats cutting it a bit too close! I would wither make the ramdisk a bit bigger, or make the files smaller. I know you mention it never going above 100MB, but it may just seem like that (file being cleaned up after crash?) What I have done is simply put my timeshifting files on a old 80GB laptop SATA HD.
