Hi everyone and happy new year. I have an issue with recording using my Hauppauge PVR USB2 that doesn't occur when using Hauppauge's WinTV program, but it does occur in MediaPortal 0.1.3.
I recorded a sample of approx. 1 min. The dvr-ms file is 246MB (yep, MB) and, hovering over it in Windows Explorer, it shows 2 min 00 sec length, recorded at 64192 kbps. I've tried through the separate MediaPortal setup program and through the television wizard in MediaPortal to fix the capture rate at 6MB/sec, but it never seems to stick.
Playing this file with MediaPortal shows stuttering in the video and audio. Playing it inside GraphEdit with nominal filters shows no stuttering???
I did run the DRV2WMV Standalone program against this dvr-ms file
and got a 13MB, 1min 15sec file at 1776 kbps (vbr) that seemed to be OK.
There must be something wrong with the enormous size of the dvr-ms file; it translates into 11GB for 1 hour of recording. Can anyone give a clue as to what I should check? I haven't seen any report like this in the forum. Basic info below.
Thanks,
Ted
